What do you mean by that? Are you saying we created God, or something else?
Do you mean we are creative in order to worship God?

Do you mean we are creative in order to worship God?

I don't believe that. Presuming that you follow grammatical conventions in which "God" specifically means the Abrahamic one-god, that god is not part of my religion.
With respect to the gods that are part of my religion, my religion does not have creator gods (at least not in the sense that is typically implied in Abrahamic mythos where there's a wedge between "creator/deity" and "creation/not-deity"). Suits me fine, considering I care very little (if at all) about cosmology. Cosmological stories only matter insofar as they inform life's meaningfulness in the present. It's nice that the story you tell yourself about this does that for you, but for me, I don't have that (or care to have it).

Why do you say that? Sometimes love manifests itself as compassion for those who are suffering.

I think God wants love but he doesn't love in return. He is a jealous God afterall.

It's called a hasty generalization.

It is a verb (past tense), but the syntax is wrong.
Apparently she meant "Why did God create us?".

Why do you say God doesn't love in return? Do you think that because we suffer that God doesn't love us? I don't think that. Part of the reason for suffering is so we won't be attached to this world, and seek the spiritual graces which always bring happiness.

Because in the Torah, God has done terrible things to people out of anger or jealousy.

What? Me worry?
Explain that to those that are suffering.

I prefer Sims.
You see, when an egg meets a sperm and fall in love with one another ....
It's only a failure if you stop trying.
He doesn't even really stick around in His own sacred texts, unlike other gods.
Why is creation alone worthy of worship?
It's a better story than reading them the parts where if they disobey, you have every right to kill them.
Well, I guess we only assume "dust" meant "dirt".
Fangs weren't created to eat meat. Meat was eaten more effectively by animals with fangs.
God is often compared to a potter in the bible. A pot doesn't really DO anything but sit there. There are no buttons to press, no cord to plug in ... it's just a pot.
Yes, pots can be useful, but they can also be there for the sake of being there.
But other social animals can do it?

Not consciously. They have be trained to trust, and animal trust is totally for survival. Human trust comes from a desire to be attached to another like minded individual.

Not to be picky or anything, Cary, but my quote was taken from a post responding to a very different post than the one you claim it was responding to. As well, while the line "it is better to exist than not to exist' looks like it ought to be fallacious, it's not. It's especially not a hasty generalization.

OH !!! Sorry. I'm new here.
God created us to worship him.
why to worship him? to have peace in the world. now there is no peace because we are not listening to him
for man God created the sun, the moon, the day, the night etc.. He deserved to be obeyed
when you make a device, a machine whatsoever, you want it to follow you instructions which were loaded in a micro chip

No problem. When one is new here, it's easy to hit the 'quote' button rather than the "reply" button and get quotes from posts you didn't intend to...
Simply to experiment with genetic engineering for scientific joy... things got out of hand when they tried to create us smarter than them.

Essentially I worship love itself, compassion and empathy, because that is the Spirit of God, his essence. Therefore God created us to generate such love; he created us, because from us will burgeon the glory that is love. If you want apples then grow an apple tree; if you want love then grow humanity.
