Uh, NO. That's not the sort of God I believe in.
His existence is NOT conditional on any other being. In fact, all other beings, all other minds, were Created by him either directly, or through processes He designed.
None of this "god exists for you, but not for me" nonsense.
My God is actual, real, pre-existent, non-conditional, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and amazingly, cares about what happens to you and me.
“My God is actual, real, pre-existent, non-conditional, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and amazingly, cares about what happens to you and me.”
An old question is “if a tree falls in the woods and no one observes it, then did it really fall ?”
In Quantum Mechanics, the answer is if no one observed it, then it did not fall, but QM is off topic.
What is on topic is if human did not exist, would God exist.
That is god could go about creating heaven and earth and the stars but if no human ever saw it, would these creations exist ?
Your real god that cares about you and me does not exist if there is no you and me to care about. Furthermore, if he cares about you and me but there is no you and me, God’s power is diminished and his spirit is diminished if there is no you and me.
Put it another way. I may be a kind and loving person, but if there are no other people to show that to, then I am diminished by not being able to show kindness and love.
So, God is very dependent on interaction with people to be truly fullfilled.
