There is no such god as described in the Bible. Neither one nor the other. Because if there were, there would be happiness for everyone in the world.

Well, I don't know, that's a strange opinion... If God existed, everyone would be happy, and happiness would reign. Where did you get that idea? Why should He give happiness to everyone? Throw money from the sky, food, etc.? Heh.

The idea that happiness and peace should exist everywhere is just a children's tale. From experience communicating with "biblical" people, I know that people are like God's children, to whom He gave autonomy – for all the couple of million years of humanity's development... So, basically, we create what we want, and He watches, and when He's watched enough, He'll plow the Earth with "Armageddon" and everyone will be "happy" in the ashes...
Honestly, I'm amused by the selfishness of religion :D

By the way, regarding the apple – there's a very interesting parallel here. After all, God created man in his own image and likeness, therefore he knew about this quality (curiosity) and deliberately told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit.
If he is all-wise and all-knowing, then he made a huge mistake here, and all his wisdom went to waste; or maybe he wanted it that way – so that people would learn from their mistakes and achievements, and... judging by all accounts, our current life is normal for him, and there will be no Armageddon :)

believe it or not, it's up to each individual...
but I find it amusing that some don't believe because they're not living well (I don't believe because he doesn't help me). No, I'm not saying that you need to pray, live according to religious laws, etc., in order for God to help; I highly doubt that... but the reason itself is funny. Some people simply believe and don't expect any help; maybe they might hope for luck or God in some situation, think to themselves, "let it be," which is like a kind of request, but they don't do anything for it; they just try to live well and not bother anyone... and if the "request" isn't fulfilled, they accept it as it should be. No resentment.

"It couldn't get any worse" - we'll think, until our heads end up in jars filled with solution, staring at the "world of the future."

yes, I don't want Armageddon in 2012 either... we're supposed to have the Universiade in 2013, a lot of people will come from all over the world) I have plans for this year, or rather, for this event %)
P.S. and yes, you can come visit.

The Bible doesn't say that God should grant happiness to everyone. People are responsible for their own misfortunes and should help themselves. He only showed them the right path.
God told people, "Live according to the commandments, and everything will be fine." People nodded and said, "Yes," but then they ignored the commandments and started living as they pleased, not as they should. That's why misfortunes constantly happen to humanity, and that's why people live the way they do now, and they are right to do so (this is my opinion :D).
As for me, I believe that someone created us; I call him God, others call him Allah, and others call him something else. Because it can't be that there was nothing, and then suddenly there was some explosion, and the universe was formed. But where did this explosion come from? An explosion needs some components; it can't appear out of nothing. So, someone caused this explosion (if there even was an explosion). Then the question arises: if someone caused the explosion and the universe appeared after it, then where did this someone come from?
All of this is hard to grasp, and it's better not to think about it at all; you'll go crazy like me xD. That's exactly why God told Adam and Eve not to touch the apple because it contained all this knowledge, but no, they still picked it (if you tell a person not to do something, they will definitely do it).
In general, whether to believe in God or not is a choice that each person makes for themselves.
Why even bother with all of this? The universe is stupid and useless. What was the point of creating this world?
By the way, I once thought about this so deeply that I almost lost my mind. It's actually pretty cool to be on the verge of insanity... I tried to do this on purpose a few more times, but it didn't work out

But why did he need to create humans? Especially if he's a god, he knew perfectly well what it would lead to, he knew the future.

Yeah, it's more like Armageddon has already begun.
By the way, how do you imagine it?
In my opinion, very stupid Armageddons involve things like earthquakes, meteorites, or some kind of infection.
In my opinion, it should be like this: everything simply ceases to exist. EVERYTHING in the fullest sense of the word.

Yeah, you fool, Volke). It's just as uninteresting – there need to be monsters and so on. At least by the end, it will be a real game.
