Kinda one of the perks of being the alpha and omega.. which means one gets to do what one wants without reason or a need to ahear to rules or our understanding.

Quote: When we do anything, it's because we have some sort of need. Doing that action fulfills that need. God creating something means that him existing by himself was not suffient i.e. he failed at being self suffient.
We are told God created everything because it pleased Him to do so.
