Just like how some Christians criticize Atheists for not believing in God, they do the same to us. I am Catholic myself, but I think it's God's choice on to choose a person's religion. Some Atheists just don't believe in religion, but don't criticize others for believing, but then get tired of the believers who try to change them so much. I've seen that happen to a friend of mine multiple times.
Why did God create contradicting religions (5000+ and counting)?
Why did God create Atheists?
He created these religions, by listening to people's inner thoughts, and then giving them the religion that would help them turn to Him for salvation the most. That's why people choose and have various religions. It's what they need to find the true religion that provides salvation from death into eternal life.
That makes little to no sense badecker but nice try. A god would know exactly what would convince everyone and yet not everyone is convinced, he either failed or he doesn't exist.
That's what I said. He knows exactly what is the best religion to convince every person. You simply are forgetting the part about convincing, and are looking at forcing instead. God doesn't want forced robots in the people he created. He made a bunch of those forced robots in the plants and animals. He wants beings that have some free will. Yet He isn't going to give His glory to anyone else. You keep on ignoring the way it works. You will ultimately lose eternal life in glory if you don't change.
If he created these religions, either he is mentally retarded or is all together schizophrenic.
Guess, what? People created religions. No maker of the universe would bother with Zeus, Mitra or Jesus myths.
It was a tricky question.
God created the universe. He created the earth. The physics that God created can't even be dislodged by a hydrogen nuclear bomb blast. Your religion that you are expressing is the thing that is mentally retarded. Not God.
If I were God, I would create one religion or no religion, not 5000+ and give people reasons to kill each other. I would create one solar system, not billions of solar systems. Most of them devoid of life.
If I were God, I would create one universe and one Earth in the same instance, with all animals, plants and people in it.
I would not create this universe and then wait 9 billion years to create Earth, then wait another 4+ billion to create man (in my own image LOL). I would not create multiple universes with different physical constants. What is the purpose? Trial and error, see which one works?
The way you say he did things seems retarded at best. But then again, the 'Gods' (aka goat herders) that created religions were slight retards to begin with so we cannot expect them to come up with something that makes sense.
