The absolute absurdity of God

[SteveII]

I for one am grateful he decided to do it.

Noted, but that doesn’t answer my question.  Why did god decide to create people?

I said this earlier: to glorify God and enjoy him forever (Westminster Shorter Catechism). Need some Bible Reference? Check our Got Answers. I was going to pull a couple of sentences out, but it really is good to read the 5 short paragraphs in their entirety. It brings out several aspects. 

It is only unjust if we did not all have a choice to respond to him. I would argue it would be entirely unjust not to create me because some atheist refuses to consider the greater reality around her and does not follow that observation to find out all she can to the best of her ability.

Atheists are certainly not the only group of folks who will end up in eternal hell, according to the narrative, Steve.

I believe (with good reasons) that God judges people on their response to what he has made known to them. Will there be people from other religions in heaven? Yes, I believe so. Not because of their religion but because of their personal response to God and God will impart the atonement made by Jesus on them. On the other hand, there will be people in hell who called themselves Christians but did not respond to God in any meaningful way.
