No matter the religion or claimed god(Allah/Yahweh/God) I never get a good answer, forget the scientific absurdity, but merely the line of logic.
Why would, if one is going to assign and claim that their god is "all powerful". why would such a being want or need body guards or a marketing department?
Board? That would make us toys, lab rats.
Lonely? That would make it insecure.
If they claim such a being is perfect, it would not have wants or needs. If it has no wants or needs then we are really nothing but playthings for its amusement and considering the reality of what we know happens, the thought of such a character as they would like to be real, is a frightening claim. If it has wants and needs you cant call it perfect.
Theists simply do not understand that all deity/god/God claims are in our species history are merely a reflection of their own human attributes and flaws and desires and insecurities. God and religions are really a artificial construct humans buy into because most humans pass down the religions of their parents to the next generation, but in reality are a reflection of our social grouping in comic book form.
That isn't just the big three monotheistic religions, that is every religion worldwide in our species history. Even the ones of Asia and the Orient are still a result of social grouping rooted in antiquity and an age of human ignorance. Nirvana and reincarnation are superstitions as well regardless of how Hindus and Buddhists would like to paint them as more earthy and less tribal.
I put all religions in the same category, from the dead religions of the Ancient Egyptians to Greek and Roman polytheism to the Aztecs. Religion in all its forms to me are simply our species flawed perceptions they use to create groups and social order.
