Why Do We Exist ?

[Accountable]

Okay, okay. Clover, let me apologize for my substantial part in derailing your thread. Now back to bidness.

Can you explain that, please?

Oops. Me too. One day I'll manage to stay on topic.

I once heard somewhere that we are the Universe's awareness of itself. Lovely idea.

A vivid analogy from Hoyle became a well-known cliché. "Belief in chemical evolution of the first cell from lifeless chemicals is equivalent to believing that a tornado could sweep through a junkyard and form a Boeing 747."

Didn't Hoyle have something to do with playing cards? Anyway any god who would create us just so he or she can go "LOOK AT ME..SEE WHAT I'VE DONE. AREN'T I GREAT" is pretty childish and nor worthy of the respect demanded.........

Me too, sorry Clover, let me answer your question seriously...


We exist for Gods good pleasure and nothing more, it pleased him to create us and so we were created.

The question extends after you answer that one to what is 'our' purpose for existing? In my opinion, for me I need to answer that one and over the years I have come to realize I exist to put others first. I can't always say I practice exisiting that way, but as Ive grown closer to understanding God, thats the direction he's brought me towards.

Why God created us do you ever wonder?
the answer is God wanted to be known .


It is only a question to people who want a different answer.

I often wonder why we created God, at least in the skewed, wacky, and outright dangerous versions that have seemed to caught on with an alarming number of the world's populace.

in that moment what would happen the answer is who is bigger stronger will rule it and he will be the real God so there can be only one God.

Not if the other Gods team up against him Also, there could be a deadlock of endless struggle. Also, why wouldn't these multiple Gods just settle their differences in a democratic or rational way?

how do you know that? or how can you say that God cant want something that you dont want is not it silly thinking?
can you judge what God may want or not?

Isn't this what you are doing in your opening post?

According to the Greek lexicon the word "eklektos" means chosen or elect.

Thus ". . . few are chosen." means just that.

if we dont know about existence of God we would have two options one is There is a God who created us or There is no God
look in your hands what do you have?
do you have more proves for existence of God or do you have more prove not existence of God?
