Boredom. I mean, it's like asking "would you rather do something or nothing?" There's a time to do nothing, but after a while you want to do something. Of course, since God is theoretically timeless and exists at all points simultaneously, it makes this pretty impossible for me to comprehend.
Questions that always occurred to me were:
1. Are we God's first creation?
2. Are we God's final creation?
3. If God was first, where did evil come from? It would have to come from God.
4. Could God get bored with this heaven stuff in several trillion years and just blink us all out of existence?
5. Will God eventually regret sentencing people to burn forever and decide to forgive them?
6. If God knew that Adam would fall but did nothing to prevent it, isn't it God's fault?
7. Could Got get bored with existence and commit suicide?
8. Could the reason we haven't heard from God since Jesus and the Apostles be because God got bored and just abandoned the plan?
9. If Lucifer possessed any negative attributes, from where did they come if the Creator is perfectly good? DNA mutation?
10. Does God and his universe exist in a simulation being run by a vastly more complex alien lifeform?
Did your former self have any good/plausible responses? How about:
1. Can't know.
2. Can't know.
3. Asked and answered.
4. A god with boredom? Wouldn't that blink it out of existence? Energy transfer?
5. A god with regret?
6. Asked and answered.
7. See 4.
8. A god with mistakes?
9. See 8.
10. Who created the simulation? Who created the alien life form?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
