All of those attributes are based upon bible passages, and I've never been presented with any legitimate reason as to why I should take what the bible says.
In addition, I contest the notion that there is a purpose to the universe. Purpose is a human property that developed in order to provide our advanced brains with occupation, otherwise we'd simply go insane. To extend that notion and impress it upon the universe is simple anthropomorphisation.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
