by the usual definition God is perfect, all powerful and all knowing... an all powerful and all knowing God could not possibly need anything from creation. So, if a perfect omnipotent God exists and has created us according to his perfect will, we are meant to fail, and know unhappiness? Or, if you don't believe that all created beings do is in accordance with the absolute will of their perfect creator, then therefore even a perfect God needs to create something - even if in so doing it passes the limits of its own perfection by creating something imperfect... I think I've used this argument against the worship of such a deity... since if true, worship is by definition pointless since we are only doing what is designed, and our very belief (or lack of) is inarguable. Or, what would a perfect God want with an imperfect creation anyhow? hmm, angels on a pin time <g>
