[Discussion] God needs us weak?

[Punk Hazard]

Now, I'll start off with this: Anyone who's just gonna post didn't read or wall of text or some other bullshit like that, I'll post a video to appeal to your level of intelligence:

Now to my main point: Does God needs us weak?

Today, I went to see Man of Steel and there was a certain quote that had me thinking. The line was "What Clark did was a doing of God." And that got me thinking: Why didn't God give us these abilities?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean flying or shooting lasers from our eyes, I mean to be stronger, faster, better than we are. Why did God give regenerative abilities to lizards and their tails, and not to our organs? Why did God give sharks immunity to all known diseases, and not us? Why are gorillas stronger, why are cheetahs faster, but not us, his most loved creations?

Then it hit me: God needs us weak. If God have given us any of these things, we wouldn't need him. No one would worship, or pray, cept for giving thanks, and that may just be a few.

Now, it occurred to me that we may lack these things because Adam and Eve tarnished our perfection. But God knew this would happen, he knew we would ruin it for ourselves because he can see the future. Why would God allow his most loved creations to be deceived, and not stop Satan? Some might say it's because God values free will of all. But is the free will of Satan more important than human lives, innocent people who were born into a chaotic anomaly of sin? We had no chance.

God saw what us being imperfect meant for him: Worship and Prayer. And it makes sense. God murders those who don't worship him, or at least, he did in the past. He hates when worship is sent to someone else. Now, this is understandable being that he created us and not some false god, but still, seems a bit far to go for worship, no? Especially since he did nothing to stop what would cause this lack of worship. It's all because worship is the most valuable thing to him.

so yeah, this is basically my epiphany. Feel free to disagree or whatever.

God gave us intelligence, none of those lame ass animals even are aware of their own existence.

That's what makes you human

 

[FireBird Marco]

There's no god.
We've come to be from nothingness, or the universe is eternal and forever will be!

 

[Cursed Prince]

If god is real, basically. He needs to feel needed. He's like the neediest girlfriend you've ever had

I had an epiphany the other day.... I realized that God is love. God is not a he or a she. Every being alive is God. God's essence is in every living thing. The meaning of life is to "kill yourself" and by that I mean one animal killing another. Evolution leads to human beings which can actually kill themselves without having to interact with another... Technology leads to our downfall everytime. Life is fair because we have infinite lives. Life is Heaven. Heaven cannot be perfect. Love cannot exist without the possibility of life. We all enjoy life because it is so brief. I believe that as our computation power increases we will see that we can create our own universe which will continue the cycle. Life is the same as a video game. It repeats over and over. We eventually destroy ourselves. But I believe that God started the first big bang


just my 2 cents

And intelligence has yet to save mankind.

 

[Kαmi]

This is a deep epiphany man, I'm going see that movie tomorrow

OT: I believe the reason God didn't give his most beloved creatures the gifts he gave other creatures is because we are most destructive and most violent than any creature in this world. We are the smartest creatures, creatures smart enough to start war and create weapons of mass destruction. Imagine if we were capable of such feats that animals are capable of. I feel like mankind would destroy ourselves even more if we were granted these abilities when we are already capable of such intelligence.

You have an extremely good point though, God does need us to be weak but I see it more so that we don't destroy ourselves. I don't care too much for the bible but it's for us more than it would be for him IMO, that's just the way I see God.

Edit: Spelling and grammar.

I second this, this guy knows what to answer.

No hate.


And besides the point, in my religion God created another different dimension that has beings that have powers similar to what we wish for, but they lack our intelligence.

you are so naive. Life is about Doing not thinking. Humans think way to much and it causes us to slowly become less active stopping natural selection and evolution which will lead to our own demise. Animals are far superior to us. Animals only show emotion which is true love. I believe many animals live happier lives than humans

 

[LordHokage22]

I don't believe in god. we aren't even that great. we can die by choking on food. a human body flaw. we breathe and eat in the same tubes. Dolphins, however, have different holes for that. we are by NO means, perfect. just smarter animals than others. all animals are conscious and aware of their conscious. we just have higher thought process because of our bigger brains.. we arent the strongest, we arent the fastest, we arent the bravest.... other animals can fit those categories. we just fit under *smartest* and being the smartest brings us here. computers... ability to communicate and discuss matters..

from what I see and obvserved, there is no higher power, nor are we the center of the world. we are insignificant. and it's the higher thought process that makes you tell yourself you ARE. because you can THINK more than the animals around you. just wait till we find life on one of these planets out there in the endless affinity of space.

So let me get this straight God is all understanding, kind , and peaceful but kills people, sounds legit.

This ^. It's up to us how we decide to use that intelligence: to build humanity or to destroy humanity

life is a test in my opinion

 

[Mihaelz]

Nobody should be a perfect creation. We aren't perfect. We're all different. People describe Love as the presence of God, and evil as the absence of God. We aren't at the top of the food chain. But even so look at us now, we developed ways to create our own way of life. We are by far his most intelligent creation. We use our Intelligence to solve problems with things we lack. We're fine the way we are.

life is fair if we have infinite lives. Pain is a great thing because it ends with death. What if we were all like Obito with nothing to live for and felt no pain? Life would be meaningless

 

[Jin Hayami]

We are the pinnacle of intelligence and adaptability.
Few other animals can survive in the environments that we do. No other animal is capable of creating the things we do. No other animal is able to communicate the way we do.
Nature has chosen us as the dominant species not because of our strength or speed but because of our ability to work together and to create tools to help us survive and overcome our competition.

I initially had the same reaction, but than I questioned what's intelligence? Who defines this and how is it defined?

 

[Solo]

Well... ask yourself.. would you make something stronger than or equal to yourself without having a fail-safety program?

If god is real he hid this from us, only by walking our own path could we unlock our full potential
