Default God's intentions
There is a huge diversity of people on the earth that just keeps getting bigger. Each person that is born in entirely unique. What do you suppose God's intention was in making us all different? Especially when you compare the diversity of mankind with religions that teach that we should all believe and act the same. It seems to be a bit of a paradox to me. It seems that if God were to set any standard for belief or action whatsoever, wether it be a belief in His exsistance, or a belief in one paticular religion, or just that pickles should never be put on cheeseburgers, then there are going to be some that will violate His will. Why didn't God just make us all the way He wanted in the first place?

Maybe He wanted us to become the way He wanted us to be. That would require some effort on our part and would ultimately produce men and women who were not merely puppets, but thinking, rationale reflections of Himself.

One thing religions are not qualified to teach, is purpose. This will always be what makes us unique. I have never met two people from the same religion that believe exactly the same.

Because GOD wants us to BE homo-sapiens not robo-sapiens.

Perhaps it was our intention that constituted our being so different, and God just fulfilled our desires.

He very well may have already.

That just might not have panned out so terrifically for us, perhaps...

Though an atheist, I see no paradox. I had four children, each unique, and yet I had common expectations and aspirations for each.

Hmm...I don't really think God has anything to do with our unique-ness. I don't believe God is directly responsible for anything about me, actually.

i just have a question out of context for you. I hope you to take in a very respectifully way but:

If you believe in lucifer, aren't you believing in God. Furthermore, you are believing on what the bible says?

hope it sounded good, if not
