God exists, even if you deny his existence.

If God does not exist, then how was God even able to be conceptualized by our minds in the first place?
If God does not exist and could never have been real, then the thought of God ever being a thing wouldn't even cross our minds.
That would confirm that God is not real.
Denying the existence of God is not the same as God not existing, because you're still acknowledging the existence of God, you just happen to be denying him.
If God did not existed, you wouldn't have the necessity to deny his existence, therefore, God exists.

And finally... If God were truly nonexistent, not just in the physical world but in EVERY realm, he would never even enter into discourse at any point in human history, atheism wouldn't exist either.
There would be no need to deny or confirm his existence because he would be outside the scope of our thoughts, language, and imagination, like trying to imagine a new color.
The fact that anyone feels the need to deny God implies that he has some form of existence that requires further addressing.
Basically, the moment something is brought to mind, even to be denied, it has already been granted a form of existence.
To deny God is to recognize him, to give him form in your thoughts, and thus to admit he exists to a conceptual level at least.

Okay, now replace "God" with "unicorns".
 
According to the authors position (foolish, low IQ, delusional), apparently Donald Duck could be God if our minds could envision it. And if we deny Donald Duck is God then this is more proof!

I love that you believe in an old man in the sky; it’s sweet. You believe in God because nothing makes sense without him, which is really sad.

I’d call your rant childhood logic but it’s not logical and it’s below childish.

Donald Duck couldn't be God because God predates the name "Donald" and the animal "Duck". A character created in the 20th century cannot be compared to a concept that is deeply ingrained into the human subconsciousness. There's no universal "Donald Duck Thought".

It’s not integrated into the subconscious at all. It’s just something you were taught.
 
If god existed, men like me would not exist.
But this is not a perfect world.

That's probably not true. There's quite a bit of research showing that humans are naturally inclined to believe in God even from childhood. This instinct may come from evolution, or it may be God-given, or it may be both, but it seems to be inherent in humans.

Cogito ergo est? I think therefore He is?

Consider the following biblical example (1 Kings 18:17-40), Elijah and the prophets of Baal had a competition. Each would sacrifice to their god and whoever got a response would know who the true God is. The prophets of Baal were very enthusiastic in their worship, even cutting themselves to pour blood on their altar, and didn't get a single response from Baal.

Before they were executed by Elijah, who got a response from God, I'm sure the prophets of Baal would have been comforted by the belief that their thoughts about their god confirm his existence.
