Did God just want to make us feel bad?  And, in feeling bad, maybe lead more of us to Jesus, Allah, etc.?

They refused to sacrifice, circumcise, and stone to death their children. God ain’t having that shit.

Boru

To many limbs to crucify!

No... he just decided he didn't like the way they tasted!

They refused to pay their union dues.

Assuming there is one god.
Assuming this god has existed forever.
Assuming this god has a brain and can think and has feelings.

Eventually, he is going to get bored. It is unavoidable. After 100 y, after 1 million y, after 1 trillion y, after 10^10000000^1000000000 y, eventually, there comes a point when things become repetitive.
It is a very lonely existence if there is only one of your kind (1 god).

If you are going to creates universes, stars, planets and life, might as well kill some and create new ones.
Who will complain? Who can stop you? Does morality matter?

The christian and muslim concept of heaven. Is there really such a thing? Aren’t you going to get bored eventually?
How does the Bible and Koran describe heaven?

In mormonism, you will be a god with your own planet in the afterlife, but aren’t you going to get bored as well?

He didn't. It's all a ruse. Since the earth is only 6000 years old all fossils were put into the earth at that time to tempt poor bastards like us 6000 years later to the dark side by making evolution look like a viable theory to test our faith, when none of it actually happened. Stop looking for reasons to doubt God's word - all you need is the magic book. It explains everything.

I have had numerous conversations on other forums where Christians were making exactly this and other related arguments. Same goes for distances between stars etc. Their refutation for light having observably travelled billions of years to reach us being proof of a Universe far older than 6000 years was that God created all of the light beams in mid-flight - at the same time as all of the "Stuff" in the Universe in the exact state that it exists today - so they would appear to reach us at the exact moment he intended (ie. now that he has deemed us to invent telescopes). It never occurred to the person that if God had that power / intention they he wouldn't have to create any stars at all - just continuously creating mid-flight light beams and other radiation would do.

It astounds me that seemingly rational and functioning people can actually believe that if there is a God, he would go to such lengths to create a completely "fake" Universe with the level of intricacy required to continually defeat new levels of the science onion an still remain consistent just for our benefit.

god foresaw that humans would give them a silly name

They're all named Hilda?

At work.

Remember, Raptor Jesus had to go extinct to allow Humanity to evolve into their sins.

Under its claws and the stone eyed witnesses of Raptor Jesus Trilobite apostles.....
