[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1694775, member: 14668"] I believe that God made us because He/She/It wants to be loved. Love is an act of free will. The ability to love also requires having the ability to [I]not[/I] love. Otherwise, its not really love at all. God gave humans free will because without it we would be little more than sheep and sheep get boring after awhile. George Burns said it best when he portrayed God in "Oh, God Book Two." His excuse for the pain and horrors of the world were that he couldn't figure out how to make light without darkness, good without bad, love without hate, or free will without the ability to make the [I]wrong[/I] choice instead of the right one. Makes sense to me. [/QUOTE]
