GOD or No GOD?

Since I talk of God alot in my blogs I have recently gotten messages from people trying to get a rise out of me debating if God is real. I wanted to share one of these messages with you and my reply.

He wrote:
=/ ever think that god created u to be put in the position to be saved?
to me god is just a thing put in power by man in which to use his own selfish reason to do things insted of logic.

My response:
I don't get off on trying to inflate my ego by foolishly thinking God or our existence is a concept i could ever really be an authority on.
I know what I believe in my heart. Should it be ignorant, then so be it and so should you leave me to it. It is what works for me. Sorry if its not your thing

We are human. We all have doubts from time to time about our beliefs. It is our nature whether you believe in God or not. Even those who don't believe in God will have a moment where they will feel anxiety thinking "What if I'm wrong and there is a God?"
Fact: In this life we probably won't be let in on life's mystery. So make it what you want and have conviction in what you choose. At least if you are wrong, your actions are still honorable.
My Personal Belief:

I know in my heart there is a power higher than I. I believe that higher power is GOD. I believe HE gave his only begotten SON, JESUS CHRIST, to die for our sins and HE is the way to ever-lasting life. I am guided by HIS presence everyday by the HOLLY SPIRIT. I will strive to live my life in a way that pleases HIM. I can do nothing without HIM, but anything through HIM. I am a child of God.

He gave me free will. I make my own decisions in life and I have sole responsibility for them, but I would be a fool if I thought he did not influence them.

p.s. I'm not being argumentative....just replying. I think you are curious to what I might say back; your whole reason behind the message right?
