If god is all knowing,all powerfull,and exists outside of time why should god do or create anything?It seems to me this could only bore god totally.

I think to cure the boredom, God should watch the NFL playoff games this afternoon and tonight!

Why should God do something? In every voluntary action, there is a desire for a benefit. Does this mean that an almighty who has everything need a benefit? Why would he need to act when he already has everything? This should mean that there was something lacking before God acted and it's necessary for him to get that something. Is this God under necessity?

Why shouldn't God create things? Why should it bore him? Shouldn't He be able to create something that won't bore Him? I thing God created us because He wants to loe us and He wants us to love him.

I really think that every action of God is a contradiction. We have to love him, of course, for him to be loved by us. It is necessary for him to create us for him to be loved by us. If this is a necessity, then how can God be all powerful?

According to the Mormons, we have the ability to attain god status and create our own worlds just as god has created us.

Why we would bother is as yet unexplained.

Thief of Time

He was lonely?

A lot of creation (non Xian) stories happen either through fluke/luck, one god spiting another, one god or group of gods being bored, or lonely.
So the Xian god created us because he was lonely? Fair enough.

The love that a creature has for its master, and the love that a master has for His pet?

God having the need to create something that loves Him implies a lack of love in His existence.

He had to be bored. After all, Adam and Eve loved God. And God loved them. Unconditionally. But then God thinks, "Hey, let's throw in this tree of knowledge and forbid A&E to partake". And they don't. And Love abounded through the garden of Eden. Then, God in his infinite wisdom/boredom let's a talking serpent goad Eve into the "Fall of Man" and blames it on Eve. Either God is not all love and has an evil streak in him, or didn't have enough love in him to protect A&E from the serpent he let goad Eve, or was bored and indifferent and threw in a plot device for his enjoyment.

There was no plan here. God made what was probably the best of all worlds and then mucked it up because he was bored, indifferent, evil. But then again, this could possibly be a fairy tale as well....

In my opinion, professional football is a cause of boredom, not a cure for it. For that matter, all professional team sports, AKA "Millions for Morons".
