Well it stands to reason that god would have all these attributes. Theists might claim that it is because we are created in their image. I am not sure what the bible means by lets create man in our own image, but that's another thread I think. So it may stand to reason that a god has emotions, etc... if we do. However, emotions like anger and jealously should be beyond the realm of an all-knowing and omnipotent being. My problem is not so much emotions, but the need for worship. If a deity existed I can only imagine why it would require worship. Why would I appreciate something in a god that I despise in a human being? Love is one thing, but the constant need for affirmation is like the girlfriend that always want to hear how pretty she is. If god is real it probably gets tired of hearing how great its followers think it is. If it doesn't get tired of it, I can see why satan said "see ya!"

On a side note, I was watching The Matrix the other day and l saw the part where they talk about the first matrix program. The first matrix was perfect, no sickness or poverty or whatever and the humans wouldn't accept the program and it failed. It made me think of the promises of the christian/muslim heaven LOL. I think they are right because we tend to define our existence through misery and suffering, which is incompatible with "heaven". How long before god's followers rebeled too?

I don't understand the devil concept either. We're told that satan rebeled against god, but I don't see an instance where he did nothing but follow god's orders. At the insistance of god, he supposedly cursed, killed and maimed to prove a point. A rebel would have told god to go fuck himself. Satan and his demons were cast to Earth and they are supposed to operate under some control from god I have to assume. I would tink that a loving god would have some limits to what satan could do. If they were to have free reign over this planet I have to question god's intelligence.

Dude, like your sig.
