With all kinds of mental gymnastics.

She's just perfect math

Love for something which didn't yet exist?

Why are humans excpecting to understand the mind of somebody who literally knows everything? I'm an antitheist but the arguments for nu-atheism are all retarded.

How would Mohammedians respond to this?

Because he created an infinite number of imperfect universes of every possible variation

the stereotype is true I'm a fucking loser

I read somewhere, but cannot find the reference anymore, that Allah said he was like a jewel in a desert who wanted to be discovered, so he created the universe.
True or not it seems like an interesting idea, that a peerless omnipotent being would still have the desire to be admired.

They'd probably say something like, 'we're too cognitively limited to make an assessment'.

>>881192
It seems as though if he possess this desire which is egotistical he wouldn't be perfect.

>>881201
True, but he does have a desire to be worshiped. In Islamic myth the angels constantly praise him, Iblis the djinn spent thousands of years praising him but was cast away for disobedience. One instance of pride and disobedience was enough for Allah to banish him from grace forever. Sounds like an overreaction frankly.

Jews call it dirah betachtonim

Vaishnavists call it lila

Because creating something beyond time, matter and becoming would be creating God

>muh omnipotence
Omnipotence doesnt entail making contradictions. Asking for God to make contradictions true to prove his power would be like asking him to do blagghbleurgblum to prove his power

Nice. This is such a poor but popular objection e.g. 'can God create a stone so heavy he cannot lift it?' No, that's logically impossible.

>>881271

And yet God CAN be both himself and his son, and his father, all at once. This is also logically impossible but apparently it's a-okay?

>>881280
I guess that God's power lies in our incapacity to comprehend it. Having said that we could concider the zen koans as ways to mildly feel our imperfection when facing something we can't comprehend.

First, second and last are best majors

>>881127
Why not?

>>881127
You want the simple answer. You want someone to come along and say "Because Christians didn't think that far ahead."
But how do you expect to understand an explanation from someone who knows all and is above all? For all we know, to him, our reality is absolute perfection.
You can't answer it, we can't answer it, nobody can. Literally, Only God knows.

>Why would God, an omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence perfect absolute being beyond time, space, matter and becoming create an imperfect, limited, flawed universe bound by time, space, matter and becoming?

Only human beings have ever described god as being some perfect being beyond reproach. My father once told me that its more likely that god is a kid fooling around in his fathers garage, playing with his tools. When you look at how things work, and the people who inhabit the universe, it seems more likely.

Well d'uh he is satan.

He obviously is unaware of the most basic elements of theology and explanations given in the Pentateuch - yes in exodus it is explained why we live in a "lower" world and why we "fallen" from paradise which was still on earth but no longer since the fall.

Went from eternal everything to biological demise - and it is explained and has supports with arguments - but as you said people have no genuine interest in learning or approaching spiritual life of Christianity - they just want to make Christians admit something.

But he lived twice. #yolt
