1) He is indeed vainglorious and wanted Beings with consciousness to admire his work (the Universe), praise and glorify him (and ONLY him). But that sounds pretty "not-godly" to me; that is a human trait. Or

2) He was bored. He wanted to be entertained. We have only entertainment value to him. I prefer to go with the latter.
Next let's take a look at our free will and freedom of choice. I believe this to be an illusion. Like accepting that Life may indeed have no further meaning than what we're experiencing in the now (a frightening concept too much /too hopeless for us to accept), we also find it hard /frightening to think/accept that we do not really have freedom of choice - not when it comes to the major issues in our life. Often we experience the feeling that "life has run away with us in tow"; we're helpless against the twists of fate and events. I think a lot of you out there will agree with this. No matter how well planned our lifes were, how hard we were working to achieve our dreams - Wam! life happens and we're spinning. I believe we are ruled by a pre-defined fate. We dance to His tune under the illusion that we chose the music.

Greetings Narnia,
I read your post and it brought a smile to my face....thank you.
I could go into a lengthly discussion as to the pros and cons of what you wrote, and we could discuss it for days to come, but instead, I would like to ask you a couple of questions about your beliefs as you have stated them in your post and in what I have highlighted in particular.
How does holding those beliefs make you feel? Do they frighten and dismay you? Or do they bring a sense of peace and serenity to your life?
Do they give your life a sense of purpose? If not, do you feel that is a missing part of your life that needs to be filled?

I truly am curious about this.

Love, Light and Blessings,

Essence
