Prove that God exists

How can we think of something that doesn't exist?

I believe that God exists but he's nothing but a thought created by mankind. He exists, just like Athena or Horus or Odin or Morgoth exists.

I don't believe he exists outside of our minds and texts though, and if he does he's one selfish, sick, evil bastard.
Just think about it, the only way for you to be accepted into heaven is to live by his rules, and before we were able to spread information around the globe those rules were only known by a small portion of the world's population.

Basically:
God to a European: "Hey, you were born in Europe! Congratulations, the priests there will tell you about Christ and how to be a good Christian so that you may walk with me in heaven once you're dead and buried. Yay!"
God to an Aborigine: "I don't know how to say this but, you were born in the wrong part of the world. You'll never get the chance to become a Christian since, well, I was too lazy to send you that note. Not that I cared anyway. You'll end up in hell. Sucks to be you I guess, but there's only so many seats in heaven anyway, so..."

If God is some kind of omnipotent thingy that cares about his creations then why didn't he give everyone on earth a fair chance? It's like giving all 1st graders a trip to Disneyland if they go to school wearing this particular hat but you only tell the children of one school about it and all the other 1st graders will have to be mindreaders (and being a mindreader is bloody unorthodox and will get you raped) or they'll miss out. Heck, they'll miss out on Disneyland, they'll get told that they didn't get to go and they'll get beaten up by the principal as punishment for their lack of psychic powers (which, they shouldn't have unless they want to die a horrible death).

Probably the smartest post in the entire thread, and most credible support for his existence (that he's a metaphor, or an idea that exists as a placebo)
