Does God Exists

If a single God does exist and texts such as the Bible are the word of God then God is not a nice being. It created a universe which is inherently cruel and all living things are born knowing they've just entered a cruel place; every morning the antelope wakes and knows that it must outrun the lion.

If God is all powerful and all knowing then there are an infinite number of alternative universes that are possible. Maybe such other universes exist but considering just the universe that we find ourselves in, then any rational person has to concede that the universe is just about as cruel and hostile a place as you could imagine.

If multiple gods exist then which is the true god? How many wars do we have to have and how many people have to be killed and suffer as a direct result of different races of people believing in different gods?
If no god or gods exist then so what? Let's assume that life on Earth is unique throughout the entire universe, as much of the evidence to date indicates. That doesn't mean that we are forsaken and that world-anarchy will eminently ensue. In fact nothing changes, except for the centuries old burden of incorrect beliefs and hatred amongst differing races is removed in an instant. We can still adhere to the laws of the land and the moral codes taught to us by our parents. We could learn to have greater respect for planet Earth and all of its life and not just human life.
