If god exists, why would he do anything more than to create the universe to work on it's own? I know when I invent things it's so that I can eliminate unecessary work. Since most religions believe that god is omnipotent, he most definately knows how to achieve this, or they're wrong. If we were only created for the purpose of life to exist, wouldn't you think that he'd want to just let it exist without disturbing his created natural order?
Maybe God's plan is to let us figure things out for ourselves, instead of being told. How do we know, if he exists, he'd want us to worship him? Maybe were merely supposed to establish peace for humanity, and be independent from him, as everything works for a reason in the real world and he's not necessary for explaination. I could respect god and his creation without kneeling before him and telling him. He would know this because he is omnipotent. Maybe god is perfectly cool with all of our choices, and created us to make choices, even to defy him, as he wouldn't have given us this ability if he didn't want us to have it. I see the world through science and math rather than spirituality. What would make this wrong as it's part of god's plan if he's exists, isn't it? Maybe we aren't judged by are sprituality or actions, but our ability to appreciate our sorroundings, or what god has done for us. It may not be written in a bible, but the bible is words on paper, god would be much beyond this.
I myself have a profound respect for the world around me that few share. I see beauty in the structure of water, and it's nature. I've gone out of my way to understand how ecosystems fuction, and why they are necessary to the overall function of our world. I've swam in mountain streams, the ocean, lakes, and ponds. I stare at the empty vastness of space, taking an overall look at the goings on of the universe. In gratitude for what I have, I invent environmentally sound systems so that we can coexist with this perfect environment for life while inflicting as little damage as possible. Basically, instead of worshipping god at church, I care about the world and try to make it better, back to it's old self. God or no God, I still have profound respect for existance that is beyond what most could ever understand.
The funny thing is, that even though i'm not a Christian, I mimick many of Christ's teachings and actions as he was a great man, with much knowledge that was lost on a large percentage of people. I think this is mainly due to the religion supposedly based on him, going against his word on most of what he was about. The more and more that I become like him, the less people understand me, so i'm not suprised that he's misinterpreted. I said like him, not become him.
