Many people are confused about God. God does matter, because he made us and he loves us. He cares what we think about him. We can know about God from several places.
First is from the world around us. There is much about our universe and ourselves that akes us wonder about the existence of God. For example it is hard to believe that the whole universe came about by an accident. Our natural sense of justice and the ability love that all human beings have suggests that we have been made by a person God rather than just impersonal forces.
