Why does God ... ?

I don't know,

and neither do you.​

Why doesn't God just tell us why?

 

[Kuzcotopia]

I can respect a little Sanhedrin-style teeth-gnashing once in a while . . . just don't throw rocks at us for asking questions, Kay?

<---- respect the emoji

Why is always such a deep question, I probably don't know why anything.

Pretty sure this first one is correct, when applied to me.

It's probable that the second one is correct, when applied to me...I'm almost completely certain that it's true, in fact.

Previous? The One After?

I certainly don't know that.

I think we were too busy speculating why to ask why.

Yeah, when it comes to a god and knowing what it wants, everyone's probably taking out of the rear.

I blame Moses. He was probably the worst offender in religious history. . . . And since he claimed he could do it, then everybody gets to claim the same.

Ah, a militant atheist OP.

"Agnostics can do anything if they have something to not believe in"

or

"You're here to save my soul? I'm here to test your faith"

[Brickjectivity]

"Agnostics can do anything if they have something to not believe in"

That's an unbelievable statement that they can not count upon.

 

[Skwim]

Why does god need so much worship, praise, reverence, love, fear, etc. Any human who demanded such attention would be ripe for psychotherapy.

Well, so can theists. They can not believe in faeries, dragons, goblins, and mermaids.

I believe (notice the irony in that) that it is a militant agnostic OP, not atheistic, as you point to in your second and third items.

Or run for public office, be a dictator for life, run a corporation, a church, etc., etc., etc.

Why doesn't God just tell us why?

If I said god already tells us, why would you agree or disagree? If you agree, what is the god you agree to? If you disagree, to whose god are you disagreeing with-the god you know or the god I know?

Playing devils advocate

Seems reckless and irresponsible to me to not at least ask the question. Even if you believe such questions cannot be answered there is still wisdom to be had in asking them.

"You're here to save my soul? I'm here to test your faith"

Seems like a win win to me.

" On the other hand "

 

[Glaurung]

Why does god need so much worship, praise, reverence, love, fear, etc. Any human who demanded such attention would be ripe for psychotherapy.

I'd demand gratitude at the very least too, if I created and sustained all things.

 

[JJ50]

Everything attributed to god is created by the human imagination, there is no evidence to the contrary.
