ANSWER ME THESE:
If god is good, wouldn't we all be happy?
If god knew all, then why would he be mad if we did something like eat his holy pear?
If god is all powerful, and he hates the devil, why doesn't he get rid of the devil?
If god made us in his image, why would god have legs and arms?
If god wants us to pray and follow his religion, then why doesn't he make us?
Why the hell would god want to give us free thought?
What does god get from us?
Why does he care?
God is good, there r levels of being happy, some feel happy to have supermodel g/f, some feel happy to have food in their table, God wants us to be simple and generous, but somehow many are greedy and wants things all for themselves, usually greedy ppl are the ones who says Good is not good.
God knew all, he is mad if you live under his roof and disobey his rules, just like your parents, but your parents can forgive u and wants the best for you, in doing that they punish u to teach u a lesson of knowing right from wrong, but if u disobey again and again and one day got raped and killed, all your parents could do is weep and say "We tried our best", God forgives at all times, he is infinitely mercifull, but if u disobey him over and over again and one day died and went to hell, thats your decision and not God's. By the way, holy pear or holy apple, lol, is a literal view of Genesis, it is "fruit" and the word "fruit" is further mentioned in new testament as "The fruit of our hearts" "You know a man by their fruits", in other words "good deeds or bad deeds".
God is mighty and powerfull. There are 2 prides at it. God is the powerfull King, and the Devil is the powerfull wanna be king. Lucifer (former archangel) wanted to compete and take God's place and challenged him.
I workout and I have a former best friend who hates me now, because from day one its known that Im strong but he always wanted to challenge me, but he can never beat me, from wrestlling, to weight lifting, to boxing, to even running, but he is determined and confident that one day he can beat me. Now should I just get rid of him now that Im his enemy? No, because then that will show that I have not given him the chance to prove his words, first I will wait for the day he thinks he can beat me, on that day i'll crush his pride, then afterwards teach him a lesson (Then in God's case for the sake of the humanity he will then get rid of him for good after Satan learned His lesson to show all the angels that noone can challenge God and win).
We are made in the image of God in a spiritual sense for in the book of John it is written "God is Spirit". Out of all the creatures, we are the most dominant species, as Out of all the Spirits, God is above all the spirits. We love, we hate, we show mercy, we show revenge, we show intelligence, we show respect, etc. and God is the same.
God wants us to follow His religion and he does make us by sending Jesus to tell the apostles to write the rules down, how parents should discipline their children and to be handed down in generation (etc.) some calls this "brainwashing" but it is just plain discipline.
God gave us freethought for that goes along with His image, as we are created in His image.
God gets love from us, and to show love and be loved is the most beautifull thing human can ever experience, and we are God's reflection.
God cares for His creation because we are His masterpiece, He died for us, and He wants the best for us. An artist will not spend so many hours designing an art and then afterwards burn it to crisp, nope, the artist will cherish his masterpiece, it is like God.
note: This is my last response, for now on the topic is King Henry is a myth and shakespeare and King James.
