Why Was I Created?

Post Reply New Topic

Now if it turns out God exists like the christians describe him as(we are going to assume the Judeo-Christian God does exist for a moment)

tell me this, if God is the perfect being which includes Omniscient or all-knowing so if he knew i would be an atheistic-anti-theist why bother creating me if he knows im going to hell for not believing in him? i mean it seems redundant to send someone to an eternity of Hell for you creating them knowing they will not believe in you, or is God really that sadistic that he makes people destined for hell just to watch them suffer?

and dont try to say that he is hoping i will find him, NO, if he is all knowing our futures are predetermined so he KNOWS without a doubt im going to Hell

so again, assuming he exists, why did he make me if he knows im going to Hell?

What if I'm not Christian and I don't believe I'm hell-bound?

I think the reason God created us (although I was raised in a non-religious household, and am no expert on such matters) even if he's just going to send us to hell is because he gave us free will. Therefore, he did not create us to disbelieve in him, but we chose to disbelieve in him. Just like people "choose" to be gay and should be sent to hell. [said with scorn]

The answer I would have given isn't there.

We are born to make manifest the glory of God.... That's me, you, every one of us. God made us in His image, and every one of us can reflect His beauty and love.

God isn't about hate... the Bible expressly says that He wants all people to be saved. God is about Love, and far from trying to catch us out and throw us into hell for the slightest infraction, He loves us so much that He's looking for a reason to bring us into His Kingdom. That's why He died for us... so that we wouldn't have to know death.

God loves you. That's why you were born.

Ho hum. Been there done that and the "poll" reeks of insincerity and / or but more probably and critically flawed understanding.

IF you have a very leetle bitsy of comprehension you will realize that nobody here can begin to answer why any currently credited by anyone divine entity chose to make ANYONE or ANYTHING.

If there is no divine entity - or if you believe there is no divine entity, which is not the same thing -
the question is a meaningless and confrontational updating of "have you stopped beating your wife?"

If there is a divine entity - or if you believe there is a divine entity, which again is not the same thing - then your best plan is to ask the divine entity at the first opportunity - nobody else knows.

Do not ask the staff at the pizza parlor to explain Obama's policies.

Some days I feel I'm in this world to eat food that's bad for me, smoke cigarettes, and basically be a jerk in a bad mood.
Some days I feel I'm in this world to love my husband with all my heart.
Some days I feel I'm in this world to break the world record on fits of crying.
Every day I know I wasn't created. I am extension of life that started a long time ago.
I've no cosmic purpose, unless a cosmic purpose is to decide what I want to do with my life, and live it.

Sorry - too many years with too many languages and I tend to slip into alien lingos not necessarily intelligible to them NOT seriously in Linguistics - and it even has to be my kind Linguistics.

nae doot = poorly transcribed Scots version of "no doubt"

Otherwise, the last line simply suggests, if a divine entity or universal mind or whatever has a different or additional cosmic purpose for you, doubtless he / she / it / they / we will get around to telling you.

Frankly, except for the odd "you need to do this right now" impulse, I am not convinced there is a much higher purpose we need to worry about.
