This is not a post on religion or atheism, or why people believe in god, or a psychoanalysis. With that disclaimer, I want to know what the theist here believe is the purpose of god, or if there is even a purpose.
I mean...okay, lets assume god exists. Now, we know what the purpose of human beings is....you may say we are his playthings, you may say He made us so that he could have something to do, you may say He made us, because he wanted to have someone to love him.
But then....whats his point? Why does he exist? The reason I think its an interesting question is because a lot of people like to feel there is a point to life and it gets at the root of that assumption....if god himself has no point, then by extension, although we may have a point to god, there is no point to us is in broader terms. If He exists so that He could create life and the universe....then shouldn't he be thanking us for existing, and not the other way around?
I know its hard to get your brain around....yes, you could be all powerful, ominiscient, omnipotent and, in fact, all ecompassing. But that still does not grant you a purpose.
