It could be that God (on the offchance he does exist) just does things, without having to think about it. After all, he's (it's, she's, whatever) God, he really doesn't need to justify his actions, even to himself. It's hard to fathom his motivation, given how complex the presentation of him in the Bible and other holy books is.
To be honest though, there's probably no point in trying to work it out because either
a/ God's beyond the plane of human understanding, or
b/ he doesn't exist, and spending time thinking about him doesn't really change anything
that's what i think anyway lol :)

Perhaps there wasn't a need. Perhaps he just felt like it. Perhaps he felt it would be interesting to observe something operating independently of himself (free will, laws of nature, and all that). We don't really know. All we know is that he did it (we're here) and not his motives.

How could you know that He is perfect? Did you get him into your bed for more than that five seconds he dropped his nerd glasses onto your pillow?!

When you say perfect, perfect at what? Just saying "perfect" doesn't actually mean anything in the English language.

He could be perfect at being a douchebag. Or perfect at being a faggot. Or perfect at being a snowborder. ETC.

One thing that we do know is that he doesn't give a shit about anybody but himself. Hell, he can't even take 2 minutes out of his busy schedule to say hi to anybody. The last time he did that was like 2000 years ago when he spoke to moses.

Seriously that god guy is a fucking asshole, and i can't associate with anybody that speaks kindly of that douchebag.

So FUCK YOU

Well, on the off chance that god does exist, is all knowing, he can tell the future, and all powerful, he can do watever he wants, whenever he wants, and never wrong, watever he predicts WILL come true, so he saw into the future and saw that man was to be created by him, he was then forced to create man, which then means he had no power to stop it, which means he is not all powerful, which then means he can not exist in the way that the bible shows him.

So creating man was because he had no choice in the matter, he knew when man was to be created and had no power to stop it, which actually means he has no power at all, he is a slave to himself, unable to control what he does because he knows the precise time he will do something and he has to be correct so he can NEVER change it. He can not control anything as it MUST come about, so whatever we do on this earth is already decided, which means we can not change what we do, which means we have 0 free will, which then means we are just slaves to god who is a slave to himself, and if we commit a crime its because of god, if we go to hell, we had no choice ever on earth. Does that sound like a very good religion to you?

So that was me just explaining the paradox's while hoping I lost a few retards along the way.

Of course there could be no god, or even an imperfect god. Though I believe in no god

btw my answer to the question is.

He didnt create us for any reason he created us because his own paradox forced him.

If he is so complex, why would he impose god-like virtues on us? Knowing how imperfect we are, why would he?

If he is beyond our understanding then perhaps he should stay away from us to avoid our curiosity and creation of religions/wars/all that.


I dont believe in god, by the way.


And thanks for your comment.

You really are not capable of discussion beyond your comfort zone. I am not preaching nor imposing beliefs I am asking questions that make people wonder.

Ive seen your other posts you are very pompous and arrogant, quick to insult with your blunt words, somehow believing they are "witty."

questions like these are beyond your narrow judgmental polarized mind

It sounds an awful lot like experimentation.



Do you find a similarity between that and the way scientists observe mice in mazes?

I personally do not believe in god nor his perfectness.


However, this question is more aimed to firm believers in god who assure he created us out of love and all that jazz

Fuck me? Wow, I cannot believe how fragile some people are. Would you just look at yourself, how excited you got, how emotional you got.


I am NOT speaking kindly of god. In fact, I criticize the BELIEF of him. The IMAGE of him. I despise him, and yes I do agree if he is indeed what the bible depicts him to be, then he is very very selfish.



As for not being seen for thousands of years, well there are some interesting theories out there. One is that God is an E.T who visits earth periodically every thousand years or so. Theres a book "Is Jehovah an E.T?" by Dorothy Leon. I strongly suggest it for curious minds.

You have a very interesting explanation. I like your mention of the paradox.


You have given me food for thought. Thank you.

the world was created to be perfect, and it isn't because the forbidden fruit was eaten by adam and eve ( which actually means they fucked before they wore commanded to do so)
and they wore thrown out of edens garden which was supposed to be where we wore all supposed to live in, and that's how we wore placed in this fucked up world, theres no paradox or shit like that this is biblical, if you don't believe in the bible (which I actually believe very little in) then you can believe whatever the fuck you feel like believing, every mind is a different world.
and by the way you are not the only one that wonders why, so don't feel special, you are just one more that does not know answers to something everyone has a different belief about.

I don't know in which cartoon you heard this but actually God is the one that creates the future, or maybe we are talking about 2 different Gods (im talking about the catholic God which if we are talking about the same one you are completely wrong on everything you posted) and your god is the same that crimson_mamba believes in that comes in his pimped out u.f.o. every couple of thousand years.

The christian god is omnipotent, omniscient and all knowing. and thats the whole thing the paradox is from. My old priest (catholic) preached about how god is all-knowing, all-powerful and can never be wrong. That paradox uses the definition of the catholic god. I excluded omnipresent from it though as that was not part of the paradox and if you know everything do you really need to be there? you already know the exact details of what happens.

I haven't actually heard that forbidden fruit bit. I was told, by my catholic school, the church, and when we were doing Christianity in religious education, that the forbidden fruit is in fact a fruit, though what fruit it was was never described, it just stated "A fruit" many people believe it to be an apple but it never said that anywhere. Besides fucking is not the worst thing that could ever happen, if it was so bad then God wouldn't even give humans reproductive organs until they were permitted to use them.

nope,

God doesn't even exist, did you know?

I don't really see why we were created either, but there is a chance there was a good reasoning behind it before we or the universe was ever thought of coming into existence.

Maybe God was just lonely I don't know, or maybe when we die that's it. Sometimes I think if we knew there was no God for sure, and we knew after death there was no life after death then people would go crazy trying to build ways for us to live forever. If we have no God then we have no purpose. If we have no purpose then what do we live for?

I'm not even going to bother reading the other posts because I think I have a pretty good idea of what most of them say. So I will tell you that god was not lonely, god did not just create humans. The reason we are here is to experience many lives and learn so we can advance our souls.

Silly, silly people...
God DIDN'T create us.
Your parents did! Its PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for one greater being to create everything.
Do you seriously want me to explain the system?
I will if I have to.
There is no god, there is no creationism, its EVOLUTION.

There is a God and he is real. I can PROVE it to you. Read the bible it explains it all..

But anyway.
God has a reason for ALL of us. Nobody knows why he created us, or what the reason was.

But I do know that he wants each and everyone one of us to live and serve him as our lord.

I always wonder that. Sometimes I wonder why he made the world the way it is now, becasue if he is in control of everything then there must be a reason to why some people are happy and others are not. God probably made us for entertainment. Even perfectionists can be entertained.

what god? ever heard of evolution, there is your answer.

Maybe he didn't. Maybe he doesn't exist.
Think about that.

But yeah, it's normal to think that, I think about stuff like that all the time.

God did it I think because He likes children, family, to love and care etc. I think we can compare this to how a mother/father would fall in love with their children after they have them. Now, they would want to love their kids, pamper them, care for them, teach and build them etc.

What kind of full can create such an imperfect beings as humans? Think about it!

Well...just look at the bible in Genesis it says that the snake(Satan;Lucifer) decieved Eve saying to her that she would not die if she ate the fruit from the tree, but that she would know good and evil like God. This brings me to the point of "free will" Satan was in the garden in the form of a snake, right? God created angels as well as man....so that must of meant that God knew that He made both angels and man with free will to choose between good and evil; to follow Him and serve Him or serve themself; something other than Him. That's how easily sin entered into the world we live in to this day from one touch and desire....

Assuming god exists is not healthy. Assuming we are perfect creations, that the universe is perfect, is absurd because we cannot compare anything to prove this whole thing is perfect. Maybe we were an accident provoked by an unplanned science project.

I'm surprised about all this confusion in some people's posts here..

One thing I can tell you.. A lot of people wonder why we were even created from the start.. So, It's totally normal. You have to wonder about the things around you and this life.. We're not living in Shells after all. And this whole universe is worth exploring.

I even used to think about it with a friend.. till we found the answer; Looking at this life as a game.. but it's serious cause you define what role you want to play that will also define how the game ends. And here it goes, God created us to Worship him. Whomsoever Allah guides,(In form that you obey the rules according to your religion) cannot be led astray and whomsoever Allah misguides, (Which is committing sins and not following the rules) noone can guide him. (But yourself.. as power comes from within)

However, there are some things that are above of our Human Understanding like "buriedalive" said. And we won't get to understand unless this life we're living comes to an end.

So, be faithful ..no matter how long it takes.. you'll know the true answer in heaven hopefully.. if you chose to play the right Role. And never stop wondering about this universe, cause it's one of the good deeds and will surely add some points. :)

Someone has been doing psychedelics.
& no ever heard of philosophy? or religion? This is all people think about.
and pssshhh who said a god or goddess or spaghetti monster created humans?

Besides the economy, government, and society tell us that we are here to live, produce, and die.

I dont do psychedelics

ok, PROVE IT.

I can prove it to you since "taylorr2012" haven't read your post yet.

A German Scientist (Sorrowfully I can't recall his name) experimented something:

Before I start.. in case someone doesn't know about it.. A Bean can be divided into 2 halves. And if you tried to plant each half separately they will grow another plant. However, if you broke a Bean into 4 quarters, it won't be able to grow a plant.

So, here it goes, A German Scientist tried this out.. As they were wondering why ants break all the beans into 2 halves when they collect their food. Ofcourse, cause it's easer to carry. But, there's another thing.. why don't they break it into quarters??

So, as the scientist knows that a bean can only grow a plant from halves and not quarters. They wondered if the ants knew this by Nature? or Did their Mothers showed them how to do it?

Then, they got a baby ant that is still inside its egg (To ensure that there's no contact at all with its mother or any other ant) They placed it in a box and watched its movements..

Surprisingly, the ant took the bean and broke it into 2 halves..

And there God shows his creation.. I believe it's a miracle.. I don't think the scientist taught the ant how to do it!

Evolution did. :)

Maybe there was once nothing and then there was a spark, a concept. and from that concept came thought, creating more concepts. and each concept created more and so on infinately. the end

Prove it then ..

Don't think about the reason.
Just be happy (as much as you can anyway) that you're here.

I used to think about this a lot a while ago. Well, not the way you do - more along the lines of the purpose of things than "was God bored etc."

Now, I find the idea of a human-like God (whether he or she ;P) preposterous (no offense intended. This is my personal viewpoint.) I mean, we are such tiny, tiny, insignificant creatures on an absolutely microscopic lump of rock and water. Whatever God is is beyond us. All we can percieve is what our status as homo sapiens allows us to. We are limited beings.

Since nothing can't exist, there had to be something. Something like that anyway.

Oh yeah, and you're definitely normal for thinking about this ;)

before I start, this is a hot topic debated for centuries, no one can answer for certain.

for me, my faith lies in science, that in an infinite universe like ours before our time, there probably was something and in infinite time one superior event happened, teh bang ov biggness. many people may argue, "well look at the complexity of the human body, that cant be chance!" but think... there was that chance. if we had 5 legs and eyes on our fingers, people would say the same, because that's the way we've always been. but from infinite chance all is possible, including this greater being of god.

I can't believe people still read that stupid "Bible". They refer to "God" as "He". OK, if God is male, how do you know that? Does he have a penis? If so, why? There must be a female God if God is male. God is supposed to have created Adam, a male. Why? It was not till Adam complained about being lonely did God create Eve out of his rib. Why did God make a creature with reproductive organs if he didn't intend to give him a mate? Why would he be so short sided as to have created a man and not a woman at the same time. He should have known Adam needed a partner. Dude. The book is just silly. Why are you afraid to question it?

you're going to go to hell

emilyf - you've figured it ALL OUT...you should write a book...or better yet, you should go take your special knowledge and go live on a hill somewhere looking down on everyone else below you...

Is this a serious question? I sometimes wonder what cinderella's shoes smell like. I've spent a lifetime researching Santa Clause's thoughts.
Goddamn, invest your mind in something that actually matters, like art or science.

And by the way, reddawn17, you can't just have a concept like that, you need a brain. If you're talking about a system (the universe), then I'd say you used the wrong words.

I thought about this before. God is love, the Bible says. So when I think about it that way I think, "He wanted someone to love." Pretty easy, right? :)

This is something I have been mulling over for a great while, and so far, this is the conclusion I came to.

First to address evolution. If evolution were truly how things happened, we would not be anything like we are physically. Think about it, evolution is that adaptation of a specie to its environment. What environment was so comfortable that we had to become soft on the outside and so easy to crush, spindle or mutilate? Did we spend a section of history that is hidden to scientists in a pillow-coated utopia? And whats with this two legs- no prehensile tail? Absolutely an evolutionary NO-NO if we want to be quickly mobile. No other mammal takes as long to learn to function. If evolution built us, it did a worse job than with the dodo or the duck-billed platypus...... our physical structure makes NO sense from an evolutionary standpoint. And before you say that evolution allowed us to get that way based on our intelligence......... we were pretty much physically where we are before we discovered fire or organized hunting, so what gives?

I think this makes a credible argument for creationism.

As far as why we were created, I believe it was so god has someone to share his glory with. Children that he can teach and watch grow. I think our lives here are supposed to be a reflection of our relationship with god ( I use god without the capital letter, because I am not a christian, so it doesn't get the same inflection, god is what the entity is, not its name.).

my 2 cents on an ever interesting topic
