Does He like being hurt? Does He have a self-image problem? Is He self destructive?
Hey, now, there's a question. If God is all powerful and can do all things, can He just stop being? Can He kill himself? Would the world stop if He did?
But I digress. The reason I asked the questions at the beginning of this rambling is that it seems very strange that an omniscient, omnipotent being should fail at everything He attempts.
Take a look!
First we are expected to believe that God has always existed. Yep, He existed for quadrillions and quadrillions and quadrillions of years BEFORE He existed for another quadrillions and quadrillions of years. I guess He was just up there in Heaven walking on those streets of gold, admiring the gates of pearl, and wondering what He was going to do with that hot place down the road.
Then He got lonely; or maybe He just wanted someone or something to admire Him. So He invented angels. Made 'em immortal and all. And we know how that ended up. Revolt! Yep, these God creations who spent every day up close and personal with Him just didn't like His management style. Fully one third of them said to heck with Him and went their own way. And I wonder how many of the rest wanted to go but just didn't have the guts!
Ok, so angels didn't work out all that well. At least it gave Him a purpose for the hot place; He let the revolters run it. What next? Hey, how about something mortal; something that will self destruct in a few years? Might they not be easier to get to listen? Especially if I promise them immortality eventually if they do what I say? Them folk gonna be so happy! They gonna love me so much!
Oops, again! The very first two out of the chute messed up. Looks like He just couldn't get anything right.
Now what? Well, He figured if He made them work for a living maybe they'd see how great it would be to bow down to Him. So He just let them fend for themselves. And guess what! They LIKED it! Plenty of sex, plenty of fruits and nuts and animals to eat. A glass of beer every evening. Roll up a little herb and smoke it every now and then. Life was great! So He got pissed and drowned them.
