It is not "either or" .. responsibility is shared.Why is the creator not responsible for his creation?
We do not get to get out of our own responsibilities by "passing the buck".

Sounds like apologetics to me.
I am responsible for what i create, you are responsible for what you create.
But your god gets a free pass forshiddyshoddy workmanship?
No buck passed allowed
If this all-knowing, all-powerful God had foreseen that humans would fall into moral degradation, then it appears sinister and sadistic of such a God to create them, knowing they would fail to meet his divine expectations. Why would such a God then destroy them out of regret in a global flood or punish those born afterward and require a blood sacrifice of his son to redeem them for behaving precisely as he foresaw they would before he created them?
Blippi is obnoxious and cringe inducing, but my son enjoys it.
One of his best songs!
He is incredibly obnoxious, but he taught Ares about feelings(happy/sad/mad) when no one else could get it across, so I appreciate him.Blippi is obnoxious and cringe inducing, but my son enjoys it.
I have to assume that, given those premises, I have nothing to worry about or even to attempt to do.OK. God creates the universe and God creates you. What does God want from you?
If you are an atheist, speculate. If God really exists and creates the universe and God creates you. What does God want from you?
Before you just give a quick answer, consider a Being capable of creating the universe and you has to be very very smart. Consider High Intellect with your answers. Make God's answer High Intellect.

It honestly, for me, shows it could be any one of three things:
1. That God is all-knowing, but not "good" (allows such a high level of dysfunction in the system he created).
2. That God may have good intentions, but is not "all-powerful" (things get out of his control).
3. Whether or not God is real, the stories are "made up".
Sure, I could do the job. On the other hand, there are many people in government that really wouldn't want me fixing things. The alligators would want to Eat me. Still, God will not allow anyone to interfere with the lessons of others and I would probably be doing that on a global scale if I had the position. Besides, I would probably only get 2 votes, your vote and my vote, and I'm not really sure about your vote.I wouldn't want the job. Would you?
As I see it, you have nothing to worry about. God's system works around total free choice. Seems you are doing that.It doesn't matter to me what God wants from me, assuming he exists. If there are gods, I don't need or desire anything from them, and I doubt I'd care if a god or gods sought something from me. I don't need or want one in my life, and I don't rely on any gods to help me, guide me, or give my life meaning.
A lot of Religious people will tell you what God wants one to do, however do they really know God or are they telling what they want you to do?Nothing, most likely. I'd probably just be an ant.
Nothing, I guess.
Okay. Um. Well. "Nothing." is my answer.
OK, you are giving me some Advanced Thinking. Very Very good!!!I have to assume that, given those premises, I have nothing to worry about or even to attempt to do.
Whatever would be necessary or expected would be clearly presented to me in such a way that there would be no true doubt remaining.
Clearly we do not exist in an universe that follows those premises. But I already knew as much.
OK, you are giving me some Advanced Thinking. Very Very good!!!
Is it really so clear that such a universe does not exist?
There is no logical entailment between "creating X", and "wanting something from X".OK. God creates the universe and God creates you. What does God want from you?

I don't know... everyone loves a good stir fry.There is no logical entailment between "creating X", and "wanting something from X".
According to the myth, He must have created carrots, too. I doubt though that He wants something from them.

Why is it always Christianity/Monotheism vs Atheism?OK. God creates the universe and God creates you. What does God want from you?

Oh .. really?I am responsible for what i create, you are responsible for what you create.
Oh .. really?
..so Einstein is responsible for nuclear atrocities in Japan?
Your philosophy is too simplistic .. and fails completely.
No clue and it depends on what attributes one assigns to that God. If God is all-knowing and all-powerful I have no clue why they would create anything at all to begin with, as such God could simply imagine it and would solely do it for their own pleasure. If said God is not all-knowing, I would assume that they might create stuff out of fun. But ultimately I don't think a God wants anything from a human at all, there is absolutely nothing we could offer such a being that he/she couldn't just create out of thin air, to begin with.OK. God creates the universe and God creates you. What does God want from you?
