Religion and God are bullshit. If god were a man, why did he create dinosaurs first? Why would he not create a being that was like him first? The whole theory of Adam and Eve is ridiculous. Does that mean we are all imbreds? Not only that, but the flood wiped out all the people when Noah built his arc. Doesn’t that mean that him and his wife had to start the whole cycle over again? We are descendants of two people twice. Talk about a crock of shit.
Church is just another scam that helps control society like the government does and squashes peoples inhibitions. So While you get up every Sunday to go to church to listen to fairy tales, know that I am comfortably in my bed sleeping in as I am sure your God intended it to be.

Chris:

Oh, I’m sorry! I thought you were Chris Taylor! I just read the “Chris” part. No wonder I couldn’t find a response!

I’m having this same conversation with him.

I’d already read your response. I might respond to it later if the urge strikes me.

Chris:

I don’t see a response anywhere… Care to direct me to it?

Angryxtian:

Uh… I meant the purpose of him existing, the point of his existence, not how he works.

As for the point of evolution, it is the method by which biotic lifeforms become stronger and better adapted to their environments via natural selection and the method by which weak lifeforms and mutations become extinct. The purpose is the creation* of higher, better animals.

*By evolution, not magically “poofing of things into existence”

But if this is true, it raises an interesting conundrum – What, then, is the purpose of God’s existence?

God works in misterous ways. It’s nto for us to undrstand them al.

But what’s the point of this qustion. What’s eth point of evolution?

I’ll respond on my blog. It makes me feel more imporant to respond to questions posed in my ask section than just to give a simple comment on someone else’s blog. Gotta feed the ego.

But Chill, God and the devil do talk. In fact they like to make wagers. Try reading Job.

So God does have a purpose…it is to beat the devil in their bets.

Great post.

No, I know what you mean, but it does seem harmful to your faith that your god’s existence is pointless. lol

But I know what you mean – we fashion things so they can serve a purpose, and thus god would have to be fashioned to serve a purpose.

I do think he was fashioned, though, and his purpose is to give humans justification for their own worldview that they don’t deserve and to fill any holes in reality humans haven’t figured out yet – weather, for example.

He is pointless in your eyes, though, in which he exists.

Then you do not understand the answer.

Purpose is something for us. It has no meaning to an self-existent God.
