Why Create a Universe?

[OldWiseGuy]

Have you ever opened a Bible???
Its huge!

I've read the entire bible through and studied selected parts many times over the past 35 years, and I'm still learning new things.

Would reading the bible inconvenience you?

No. It didn´t when I read it.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

No. It didn´t when I read it.

If you've read it you must have at least some of the how's and why's.

No.
If you feel you have understood them, you could simply tell me - instead of playing this stupid quiz game.

You want to know the how's and why's of suffering; is that your question?

You asked your question in post #128, and I answered it in post #130. What's left to know?

It´s ok. You are under no obligation to explain these things.

Pain, suffering...?

Somewhere in the collective unconscious of the reptilian brain, Davros' great grandfather is laughing, and making plans...

Your other posts reveal that you are an unbeliever, so what would be the point? Methinks you just want to argue about sin, rebellion, and the kingdom. And while I enjoy a good argument that one would be fruitless.

Why?
Are those things strictly a matter of faith?

Of course not.

You figured that out just right now?

I am not responsible for your assumptions.

Yes, that´s what your responses looked like. You could have said it right away - without pretending to answer the question.
Have a good day.

Here's a question: why create a universe? And why create life, specifically human beings, on planet earth?

So you can go to the store. (Think about it)

With all due respect, you are a troll who will argue against anything that I say without the least interest in understanding what I am saying. Good day to you as well.

I don´t see much of respect in such assumptions.
I have been asking a question, you tapped danced around answering it until you had forgotten what it was and asked me to remind you - next you started with the ad hominems.
I didn´t even have the opportunity to consider you answer (or agree or argue against it) - because you hadn´t even answered the question.

I answered the question. You just don't like the answer.

I answered the question. You just don't like the answer.

Maybe you just didn´t understand the question?

Perhaps I didn't.

Compare nothing with something, have something is better.
If I were God, I will do that too.
