We worship God because he does not exist, we fear him if he he does.
If God had existed, we would have killed him.
If God had not existed, then he shall be invented.
Therefor, God cannot exist.

"We worship God because he does exist."
God is a concept of an ideal human being, that is why we worship him and accept him. It is in this state that he is free to be manipulated into what humans want him to be and what he needs to be.

"We fear him if he he does."
God is an ideal being, therefor he is superior to us and more powerful than us. If he does exist, we would fear the power that he would possess because we will doubt him and his faithfulness to his ideal. This doubt will in time turn into fear that will eventually....

"If God had existed, we would have killed him."
To kill God, to protect us from something that we cannot comprehend or control. We must destroy anything that threaten or could threaten the human kind and God is such a being that has the ability to wipe out the human kind. In order to not be killed, we must kill first. This will happen because we fear God, and eventually lead us to making a mistake that we believe could anger God. In fear of avoiding his wrath that might not exist, we must terminate the cause.

"If God had not existed, then he shall be invented."
"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him" - Voltaire
God is an ideal human, he give us hope and guidance and more importantly a way to control the mass so that they do not think and question world. The society needs God(or in current day, something equivalent to the concept of God) to function properly. That is why if we did kill God, we would have to create a replacement for him. If God never existed, then we will need to create him to serve that purpose.

In a way, God is actually a martyr for human greed. A way for small group to control the masses and keep society running the way it was, is and will be.

If oxen and lions had hands or could draw with hands and create works of art like those made by men, lions would draw pictures of gods like lions, and oxen gods like oxen, and they would make the bodies (of their gods) in accordance with the form that each species itself possesses.~Xenophanes (570-475 BC), Fragment 15.

*I have used he/him, but in reality i would careless about the gender of God.
*All of these represent my personal opinions and in no way written with intention to harm any person or organization specifically.

Also, Merry Christmas, Happy Belated End of the World and Happy New Year!
