Prove there is a God.

I'm creating this thread to see if I myself can try to answer questions that question or even contradict myself and the religion that I believe in.

Here's how it goes, all of you ask me questions about Christianity, and I'll try my best to answer them with the little theological knowledge that I know.

Why did God create us?

Just so he could have little servants and see who actually cared enough to talk about him?

To me it just seems like he wanted to boost his ego and created all of us. I dont see a point in him creating humans.

Also, let me try to explain a little more thoroughly.

God's original plan for man was to rule over Earth. To live peacefully.

But he knew that man would turn to sin, instead of turning to God. So then the real plan from God emerges. The plan to save others, and the plan that all men ( and women, for you feminists ) were to worship God for even allowing us to be saved once more.

Eventually, God's original plan will come back, when Jesus returns and defeats Satan.

god is bound completely by his omniscience. he can't think, he can't change his plans, nothing can be other than what it is, because he already knows. he has infinite knowledge.

this all knowing thing makes things way more complicated, i think the idea of god would be better without it

i still don't see what would give god the idea (not that god can get an idea since he already knows everything) to make earth just for us to enjoy ourselves and serve him. i duno, i still don't see the point of that besides just god playing around and making things for fun.

Generally, humans aren't very grateful for what they have until they have it all taken away. Imagine how the first few generations were. Though that, we all learn.

true i suppose.
but i don't feel grateful to god for anything. assuming he exists, he made me. but i don't feel grateful for that, because if he didn't make me, it's not like i'd know what i was missing out on or regret something. i wouldn't exist.

Of course, there's a lot of things to be thankful and grateful for. I'm still going through things today that astonishes me because of how grateful I should be because of a certain circumstance.

Eventually, you may or may not find things. I'm not too sure on that. Besides, aren't you glad you aren't missing out on things? Life? Everything?

i'm grateful for things but i don't attribute any of them to god.
am i glad i'm not missing out on them?
sure, but if god didn't create me i wouldn't know i was missing out on them so it wouldn't matter. i wouldn't be unhappy about it. i wouldn't be anyting, like i said i wouldn't exist
