Do we need a God even if he exists?. I don't mean to say that he doesn't exist, but at the same time I would neither say that he exists. I say this because I haven't experienced Him to say that he exists and at the same time no amount of science and logic could explain me how else could this universe and life could have been created except for a power that's beyond the reach of a person through his sensory organs.
We all at one point or another would have certainly asked for God's help when things got out of control or situations quite grave. We even blame him and swear at him for all the pain, suffering, death and destruction in our world. This seems like blaming the neighbour for our domestic issues. Not only do we refuse to take responsibility for our mistakes, we expect someone else to sort out the mess for us.
If there is a possibility of, we human beings acquire a capacity to be unaffected by the external environment, then we end up in eternal happiness. Instead of expecting bad things not to happen (which is an impossibility in our world) if we can face them with equanimity we are bound to be happy for eternity. If this is what keeps us happy, then in my opinion that's what we should want, that's the God one should desire, that's the state one should attain. Who needs an external God in this case????
