    No, it's called "for His good pleasure."

    The bible tells us. With one lump of clay, God makes a grand pot. With the other, an ashtray.

    Does the ashtray, which otherwise never would have come into existence in the first place, have reason to whine and complain?

    And, if the Maker does one thing with one lump of clay and another thing with another, is the Maker to be made to feel guilty?

    No. It's all for His divine pleasure.

    Isn't our Father awesome?

    Can I get an AMEN, brother?!

    Not quite. We have established that you believe one more universe was created by God, than I believe is the case. To be more precise, I do not believe the universe was created by a person. So maybe if you say God is not a person, we are on the same page.

    No we are not on the same page anymore. I believe God is three persons.

    Hindsight is always more accurate than foresight.

    No. God is a unity with each person having equal privileges and liabilities
    as the unity of God.

    You can't claim knowledge of something for which there is no evidence.
    God is indistinguishable from non-existence and thus doesn't exist.

    It is meaningless to talk about the properties of something that doesn't exist.

    religious teachings exist irrespective of whether God exists or does not. It cannot be proven either way.

    religious teaching exists irrespective of whether God exists, it is in fact meaningless to talk about the existence or non existence of God, for it cannot be proven one way nor another

    I wonder how many people turn away from their childhood faith on the basis of this and similar doctrines.
