Why did God create everything in the beginning?

[Lollerskates]

What's His rationale behind doing so, and what's the point of it?

Did you ask Him?

If I was all powerful, and I was the King of kings, God of gods, I would (humanely) want a people for myself. Sure, I have my angels - my "soldiers" that are [supposed to be] "ride or die" for me, but I want my own "seed."

Inclusively, the "right seed" needs to be tested to show who would truly want to be with me. After all, God doesn't use magic(k); He does things according to their season, and according to their natural progression - no matter how supernatural it seems.

I would imagine God created us to experience Him fully - to bask in Him. Angels are already "spoiled" by Him; He made us to experience Him fully - whether that be patience, trials, horror, laughter, sorrow, grace, faith, "miracles," etc. Some of my best moments were when I have been so low, but I wake myself up from sleep by laughing. When you wake yourself up from laughing in your dream, you realize God at least gave you that piece of peace/happiness/hope. He is there, and He created us for a GOOD reason - not to be simply avatars.

Quatona, all the intelligence and cleverness you've shown and yet you cannot determine meaning from context?

I cannot believe it.

No problem. You aren´t obliged to answer the question, and you aren´t obliged to explain your responses, after all.
Thanks for the kind words - I mean, others would have become condescending if in your place.

In the absence of actual knowledge about why God would create the world, there's dozens of different answers we could propose that appeal to our sensibilities.
