Why Would a Christian God Create Us

in #religion7 years ago

Careful now, kid. You shouldn't ask questions like this unless you are absolutely, certifiably, undoubtedly sure that you wanna knowthe answer at all.

Do you really wanna know?

Edit: well, since a couple of you miserable shits were arrogant enough to want to know, I'll help you understand this.

I can't give you a super-detailed rundown of things but I can help you try to understand what the fuck's going on here. I mean, I've been around since roughly the beginning (all that stuff in the Bible is a load of hoohaa meant to make god seem more powerful than they really are, he didn't create me).

There is something you humans may have noticed about the universe- it has a tendency towards entropy. That is, all things within it have this damnable predilection towards breaking down and reverting into almost serially disorganized states. You humans are intimately familiar with this, as you are biological forms who die sooner or later; all life is acquainted with this eventual fate. Non-living forms in your universe, too, are constantly whittled at by myriad natural forces trying to reduce them to less than the sum of their constituent parts and particles. As time erodes life, so too do most natural phenomena work to seemingly keep the greater portion of the universe in a state of chaos.

This is something you probably know already, if you're familiar in any way with medicine, or physics, rudimentary biology, or ecology. What you might not know is that this wasn't supposed to be the case. This wasn't supposed to be the case at all.

When Heaven, Inc. released Universe 1.0, it was assumed that they'd worked out the bug that resulted in entropy. We were all impressed by it. However, the entropy bug was still nested in every routine that the Universe could possibly run and this has meant that the Universe can't fulfill what it was created to do: produce entities that can willfully leave their reality and explore alternate dimensions that exist outside of it.

Not even God can leave this plane, and given this, the most God could do was create a system that, in its infinite complexity, might inadvertently create forms that could explore places God itself cannot. God's not nearly as powerful as any of you were ever led to believe, but you- humans- you are. At least, you're getting to that point.

There will come a time when your species colonizes other planets, and after that, other star systems. Once you've done that, other galaxies won't be far beyond your reach and when you have propagated yourselves into those deep reaches, you will soon afterward reach a point at which you'll be able to open rifts in space-time that will allow you to enter and explore other universes.

Universe 1.0 has produced you, and that was planned (at least, it was kind of planned, as much as the one incidental creation of a sentient species can be planned). What wasn't planned was for you all to come into existence in a Universe that is, for lack of more eloquent phrasing, constantly tearing itself the fuck apart. Before you can leave this Universe and explore the others, you must arrest the processes that will lead to the Heat Death of your Universe and that implies defeating entropy.

Your purpose wasn't defined when you came to be, but as a function of the setting you've come to exist in, that purpose has been defined: you must eventually defeat entropy so as to witness what lies beyond the matter and energy boundaries of the universe you currently inhabit.

Heaven, Inc. abandoned Universe 1.0 sometime around 18,000 BCE on your geologic calendar and began to allocate customer support for other creations of theirs. Now, all you've got is each other, and you all live in a Universe that arbitrarily wishes to see you and your kind blinked out of existence merely because you're complex.

That's pretty much it. Defeat entropy and get out of your Universe. Not bad things to work towards if you ask me; I mean, I'm Lucifer and my time is spent reviewing purchasing orders, processing intake forms, running stat analyses on inhabitant demographics, and making people miserable. I envy your position in the Universe.

Upvoted and resteemed! I'm not atheist. I'm a Buddhist. One of the answers Buddha had given to a believer of an all powerful all kind/good god is that the 2 are mutually exclusive. All-kind/good God is incapable of getting rid of (curing) the suffering in the universe or an All-powerful God is not that Merciful and really doesn't care much about the suffering of beings.
