Does God get bored or lonely?

[ThePainefulTruth]

Think about it. God exists "in the beginning" all by Itself. What does God do to relieve the boredom, create a universe? It's pretty and all but it isn't engaging and God has no one to share it with. So (and all that follows happens in the blink of an eye) God considers creating angels, but knows instantly that they'd be nothing but divine sock-puppets, which would be extensions of It's own intellect, even if there were trillions of them. God could make Itself into a He and create a goddess for a spouse, or vice vesa, or both, or alternate. But that would be nothing more than a glorified sock puppet. God could bestow his goddess with free will, but that means she could lie to him if she chose and he'd never be the wiser if she was any good at it--which, being a goddess, she would be.

So, what could God do, what COULD GOD DO? How could God create creatures with free will to do as they please as if God didn't exist--a way of pre-testing companions in order to weed out evil or mindless yes-men, so that God could then experience delight, sorrow, euphoria and all the passions possible with existence?

Well? Either God couldn't figure it out, or It did. Assuming the latter (I mean here we are), what could God do?

What happens after you remove the assumption that G-d experiences the human emotion of boredom?

If god has no human emotions, he wouldn't give love, have compassion, show anger, and any other remotion described in the bible. He wouldn't ask for forgiveness because he wouldn't have a need or feeling of asking for one. So, if god can't be bored (which is odd, but case in point), then why would we expect god to be anything or have any definition outside of human emotions, needs, wants, and purpose?

Just like references to G-d having body parts are metaphors, references to G-d having emotion is metaphorical. G-d is not a man.

 

[George-ananda]

My advaita based thought is God/Brahman then does art like this play/drama we call the universe. He separates Himself from Himself and the returns Himself to Himself. We each have a ray of God consciousness animating us looking to spiritually expand. We are God not being bored.

 

[DavidFirth]

No, God is love. He never gets lonely or bored. He is always busy about His business.

I wouldnt see god as bored because god, as a force or spirit, cant be bored. Energy in and of itself isnt human to experience bordom. I mean, you can say its metaphorical. God had nothing to do so he created creation in order to love him. But how does a literal Spirit become bored?

If Tomah is correct, Id ask myself what is a god apart from what humans apply to describe it.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Well being god is a product of a person's theistic belief, it would follow that such relatable qualities would follow suit.

 

[Skwim]

I always figured that if there is a god who created us it was for his own amusement, possibly out of boredom. Or maybe, as the Christians portray him, a grand deity in need of praise and adoration. In any case, it was for his benefit rather than that of any of his creations.

Very close to what I believe is true. God created the universe for something different but to keep it different had to limit gods interaction with it. In other words God put rules for his new creation. Being that creation was something new and constantly changing God has a learning curve with it.

What if god got bored with humans just as he did the angels? What if he is off creating a new and better universe because this one failed? Would we know? How could we know?

If the god being is perfect, how can it experience boredom? If it is all knowing, then it knew everything about it's creation before it even created any of it, therefore free will is an illusion.

God is a duality. Before God created angels, He was His own companion. After God created angels, both Gods became the center of attention. God's two entities are part of the same whole. In heaven, angels interact with both Gods. As an example, one God reacts with something an angel communicates or does. The other God pops up in the God sphere and reacts to what the other God did. These unique exchanges continue forever amusing and entertaining angels. When God was in the world as Jesus the two entities of God were inside the body of Jesus. There is no son of God, just the duality of God.

Didn't God supposedly create loads of other gods? https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2014/01/the-bibles-many-gods

If he knew everything about creation before creating it then why create it? Under this assumption we might just be one of millions of life simulations playing in God's head.

 

[Deeje]

The amazing thing about an eternal being is that he has no beginning or end. There is as much time behind him as there is ahead of him. That makes all his actions very carefully considered. His cardinal quality is LOVE, so it is his love that prompted him to share life with other beings. Giving them a beautiful place to live was well considered too. Everything they needed to enjoy their life was provided well before he created them. Giving his final earthly creation free will and dominion over all other creation was also well considered. He allowed enough time for all contingencies relating to the use or abuse of free will to be dealt with, so that when the end of the allotted time arrived, any and all issues would be settled and the rulership of his son would then bring all obedient humanity back to the conditions that Adam once enjoyed. (Isaiah 55:11)

Most people never get to see the big picture....and it is awesome!

I would have probably put it a little differently, but the truth remains that we have good things to look for that are ahead of us.

So your position is that this particular god was not omniscient?
