God's purpose is to watch me masturbate.

No wonder he doesn't get much done.

A lot of people seem to know what this god character wants and thinks.

What is God's intended purpose?

Purpose has to do with the evaluation of properties for which the item was made or caused. God was neither, so the question does not make sense.

Probably because those people know what their imagination wants and thinks and that's exactly where this god character lives.

He's a useless cunt. But what do you expect for a non-existent fuckwit? (he's hardly witty if he doesn't exist).

I already addressed that when I said "But when it's modifying 'being', we are talking more about abilities." So, obviously using the adjective 'perfect' has some context-sensitive meaning. For God, it would also address his nature.
