Here's my line of thought: The Christian religion teaches that God is "perfect." Perfection implies wholeness, thoroughness, completeness... If God is perfect, he needs no ends because he is perfect, complete. To say that he created us out of love, or boredom, etc., would deny his perfection because we would be means to those ends, which he didn't need in the first place. Ergo, if God created us, there's two possibilities: 1) he's not perfect, 2) Christianity has yet another swiss cheese hole. Discuss. EDIT// There are also obvious imperfections in his creations, i.e., random deformations, stillborns, cancer, etc.. I'm not sure about this point, but it seems to have relevance at the moment.

Sorry for not getting the hint on the first go-around. PS -- this isn't a subforum where sarcastic replies that add nothing to the debate are really welcome.
