Calm down bro
Don't dare compare my existing god with the imaginary one from Christians' sick minds

Several simple answers.

1. God wants companionship. He is great beyond understanding. He wants companionship that will match His greatness. That's why He made angels and people. The fact that there are different kinds of angels suggests that there might be a tremendously large number of different kinds of angels. We all have been created for His companionship.

2. God doesn't measure His value in gold. He can create all the gold he wants at any time he wants. Gold holds no value for Him. In fact, the whole universe holds no value for him. His value is in the glory he receives. He receives glory when people praise Him. People have been built with enough of Himself in them. They can recognize how GREAT and GOOD He is. Their recognition of such things, and their ultimate praise of Him, is like money in the bank of God. And God, Himself, praises people in certain ways, at certain times, for recognizing Him.

Think of how esteemed you feel when your friends or co-workers tell you that you did a good job with something that you did. It is similar with God. He did a good job at making this universe and people, and then offering them salvation when they failed. We should hold Him in highest esteem. GOD IS TREMENDOUSLY WONDERFUL AND GREAT!!! When we esteem Him, this is part of the glory He receives. It is as close to money in the bank that He can get.

3. God is so absolutely Great, that, if we can recognize His greatness, and praise Him, standing in awe of His Greatness, He will make things work out well for us, ultimately. For us to live and love God, and praise Him for the Greatness that He is, is better than not having existed at all. It is unfortunate that so many people are unwilling to recognize that He even exists. Such people have no use, either for themselves, or for God. If they will not turn and come to understand Him, they will have locked in their own destruction.

Consider how great that destruction will be. The fact that people have the ability to recognize how great God is, means that they are, themselves, in some ways as great as God. So the self destruction that people are bringing on themselves means that they are actually destroying some of that which is God-like. How do you destroy God? It would take a lot to destroy God. But that is virtually what people are doing to themselves when they push God out of their lives.

In the Revelation, there is a thing called the lake of fire, at the end-time of this universe. My take on it is that it will include, among other things, the dissolution of the whole universe, including the souls of the people and angels that don't accept Him. It will last forever - eternity to God is simply like another tool for Him to use. God will get His energy back, that He used to make the universe, everything in it, including the people and angels.

Fill yourself on God's Word, the Bible.

Lolwat
I love when people state facts based on not a single proof

My turn

Does your god allow me to murder those infidels that believe in those fake ones?
If it doesn't, oh well, I'll just make it up as I go along and do it anyway. In the name of god.

LOL, let's hope so. But I think we'll be disappointed.

oh noes murder!

think for yourself man, you have reduced yourself to cannon fodder, remember the "other side" thinks just the same.


well you're a real bundle of fun aren't you! you already wrote:

sounds pretty esteemed to consider yourself more worthy of existence than others, so what is it? esteemed or not?


in that case i will use lowercase AND a smaller font from now on to refer to your fictional god.

i hold no ill will toward you, i just think you should relax and represent yourself rather than some other persons ideas (illogical ones at that!).

Simple:

just don't bother trying to measure it and then shout "it's real" at the person you are trying to "prove" it to!

of course for this to "work" you must recalibrate your own internal understanding of the word "scientific", or better yet; not have that understanding in the first place!

edit: non sarcastic answer: you can't!

So this overly complex thing exist forever with no explenation what so ever except a badly written book (Yes I have read it), but a simpler thing like a universe cant do the same?

You are completely missing a whole lot of it.

God gives a certain amount of free will to men and angels.

It appears from Ezekiel 28 that before the Devil (a powerful, now-fallen angel) chose to fall, he was the one who was given authority to protect the earth, and particularly the first people.

The Devil used his free will to corrupt himself; he tempted Eve to go against God in the Garden.

Eve and Adam listened to the Devil, and used their free will to go against God.

Think how you feel when your teenage kids ask you for the car keys. You love them, and hope they will have a good time. You give them the keys and tell them to drive slow. They use their free will to disobey and drive fast. They get into an accident, total the car, wind up in the hospital. The damage was caused by their improper use of their free will. Their lives are forever changed. Yet, you still love them (even though you are angry with them), and you do everything that you can to see that they are healed.

God was angry, and still is in some ways. But He is, also, love. That is why we are finding cures for the DISEASES THAT WE ARE BRINGING ON OURSELVES BY NOT FOLLOWING GOD, OR BY TOTALLY DENYING HIM.

It ain't God's fault. It's ours. And we make it worse when we thrash out in anger against Him.
