My theory is, He kept making universes for His entertainment, then got bored with them and created more. Sometimes, I feel sorry for God. Immortality must get kind of stale.

Reminds me of the Farside cartoon showing two people sitting on a cloud in heavan. One turns to the other and says "I wish I'd brought a magazine."

What passage(s), if there are any, explain why God created the Universe?
The reason is given in an apochryphal text, God got some spam e(thereal)-mail similar to this site

Apparently, to glorify himself. He's a god with a god-sized ego.
