He lost his fidget spinner.

Rev 4:11
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure* they are, and were created.”

Some, perhaps most, translations say "by thy will" here. Personally I agree with the KJV above.

This is from memory almost sixty years after Catholic infants school.

Who made me?
God made me.
Why did God make me?
God made me to know him, love him, serve him and be happy with him (sing song voice) "For Ever In The Next."

At six years old I hadn't learned to read, yet I could recite the catechism in its entirety.


Oh how I despise the Catholic Church.

So when it's snowing, it is God cumming all over us.

For loving companionship basically.

No, we - or rather the saved - are adopted children of god; the bride and body of Christ; joint-heirs with Christ.

God was lonely so he made himself some kids? If god is perfect and complete within himself, where did this yearning for parenthood and companionship come from? Was he missing something?

I admire alpha_male for just saying this stuff so nonchalantly.

No. Fellowship with man can't compare with the fellowship of the trinity.

I don't know. Desires don't necessarily come from needs, so we can't say whether God needed something just from the fact of creation.
