There is only One true living God. Satan does exist, and he is in fact the god of this world, but he will be the third resident of the lake of fire/hell after the beast and the false prophet, then all the unbelievers will join them. Yes, people make all kinds of things into gods, but there is only the One and True Living God. Hallelujah!

Just out of curiosity: how would you answer the questions of the poll?

God's most likely main motivation to create humans was...

God created man to worship Him, but He gave man free will.

Quote:
What would God mainly do to be believed in?

God has revealed Himself through nature, through His word (the bible), and throught His Son, Jesus Christ.

Quote:

God does not make humans do anything. He gave us free will. If He wanted to make us worship Him and not sin, then He would have created robots and not have given us a choice.

Quote:
What would God mainly to to learn from humans?

God does not need to learn anything. He is God and He knows everything.

Quote:
How would God react on people not believing in him (Atheists)?

God has said in His word that if we reject His Son, Jesus Christ as our Saviour, then He will reject us.

Any unequivical proof of G-d's existance, an omnicient and omnipotent being, would go far to remove mankind's responsibility to improve, improve and protect the world, and free will.

It sounds a little primitive for a God to create people just to be worshipped. Why would a real God need to create people for worshipping him? I would assume this from some dictator, but not from God.

I also feel bad for people who believe that their existence only serves this purpose. I think there's a lot more to our purpose in life.

I agree that there is much more to our purpose in life. I believe that everything that God allows (and I believe that God is sovereign and in control of all things) is to bring us to a saving knowledge of Him and into a closer relationship with Him once we come to that saving knowledge. I believe that God created mankind to love us. God wants us to love Him, too, but He gave us free will. Yes, God wants us to worship Him. If God exists and is indeed the Creator (and I know He is), then He is the only one who is deserving of our worship.

We love Him because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19

I don't thinkt he poll covers each detail, so I'm going to add my vcomments int his thread.
Hopefully they are not just overread but also taken into account just like the answers of the poll (note: the answers which fitted were selected by me - see number in brackets to get number of answers. All others I skipped):

God's most likely main motivation to create humans was... (1)

- God wanted to have some fun. Some sort of playground, just as we do when we play the Sims. It's also a source of knowledge and new ideas. But the first thing is entertainment.
Closest match: He created us to learn from.


What would God mainly do to be believed in? (0)

- That's open. He'd be interested about the ideas his creation comes to. He'd enjoy how different beliefs spread and because of that wars start. Must be fun to watch.


What would God mainly do to make humans do good deeds? (0)

- Probably nothing. Maybe give them some motivation by giving them money, a good job or something else if there's not enough and the game becomes boring.


What would God mainly do to learn from humans? (2)

- just observing them fits it pretty well. Also the second point. If things get boring, let's see how people react on a catastrophe.


How would God react on people not believing in him (Atheists)? (1)

- Not at all fits it pretty well. That's part of the fun.



Please not that this post is not intended to be offensive. I've been asked to give my opinion and so I did.
If you don't agree that's fine, but please don't feel offended. It's up to you what you believe.
