I believe God, like the rest of history, exists only in living humans.

When God, for his own reasons, presides over bad happenings that destroy
good people - as earthquake in India -
surviving religious officials, who represent his goodness and Godness, ask
for and receive His messages for the faithful.

Those who want to be convinced are convinced, and God lives.

Despite the fact that roughly every 100 years we have all new people.
