Does it matter?

I guess you do have a point there; it would be difficult to reason with a being who has an irrational tendency to vaporise those who disagree with it, even if you are much smarter. Nevertheless, if there were gods of lesser sophistication to us, it would still be possible for us to observe their behaviour and deduce their motives, and over time figure out enough of their psychology to be able to perhaps interact with them in favourable ways - even if this involves something much less sophisticated means than reasoning, like manipulating their vanity or whatever. In fact, it would be necessary to do so to ensure best chance of survival, so that you can think "okay, this action tends to make the god have a temper tantrum and make stars go supernova", or "this goddess tends to be less likely to immolate green objects, so if we give her a present, we should make sure it's green".

But you might not have a choice in this case - if a god becomes interested in you and what you're doing, you can hardly tell them to bugger off or get a restraining order against them. You'd have to aquire some understanding of their psychology, if you didn't want to accidentally upset them and wind up being magically transformed into a goat (or some other worse fate). Ideally, it would be best if you were able to avoid being noticed by them, but you still need to know the sorts of things the gods are most likely to notice, which is difficult if you're ignorant of their ways. And if you do encounter a hostile god, a Vlad the Impaler with magic powers, sitting tight and hoping that you're one of the lucky ones who he manages to overlook is probably something of a risky strategy - especially if this is a god who roasts entire planets, in which case what you personally do is irrelevant if any of the other 6 billion people on the planet does something to mildly annoy him. Your best shot would be to try to contact a rival god who is willing to protect you; and to do that you have to have some knowledge of the attitudes of the various gods. So, if there were gods, I'd say that there would be no escaping the need to collect as much intel on them as possible to maximise chances of survival; although it would probably be safer (at least initially) to adopt a passive spying approach rather than a direct interaction approach, so as to remain unnoticed for as long as possible.

Lets say god exists, the only way this would matter, in this lifetime, is if it were an interventionist god that could be persuaded by prayer. Of course the existence of any god has major ramifications if there is an afterlife controlled by said god/s.

More important is the existence of the belief in gods, this does have major ramifications for society and the planet.

To be honest, i wouldn't care wether he existed or not

(Which he doesnt)

I think its just a ploy to scare people into behaving, and its also the worlds best mind control device =3

E.G: They use santa on little kids.
They use god on adults, well, the adults foolish enough to belive in him.

Yeah, its all bolloks in my opinion

I answered 'Sometimes' because if you are just going about your everyday life then it doesn't really matter, but if something happens that needs people to act some people may act because they believe in God and want to go to Heaven when they would not have acted if they didn't. Also it matters which (if any) of the many religions is true at death because it makes a difference to what happens or doesn't happen.

I never understood when pepople say that if you dont belive in God then why be kind to your fellow man....

There are some people who would be kind anyway, but there are also people who would probably need there to be something in it for them in order to be kind. They for some reason see heaven as something they want.
