The kid with with the Avatar statement is offically the biggest idiot I have met. I'm glad it was via the internet, because had it been a real life experience I would have shot him. To the others who obviously fail at humor and don't even understand the comedy, should seriously shut up. You're the reason Christians have bad wraps. I take it that a majority of you also have not even read the bible and are quick to assume things about your lord and maker. So please take the time and read it. The more you know.

Haha good point but I doubt God has low self esteem, seeing as he's the ruler of the universe and he has like, a bajillion of the people on this planet worshiping him.

No - he just turns to Jesus!
I do hope you were only intending to be funny, and even if you weren't - that's how I took it - you see, I don't think God is without a sense of humor, or is so defensive as mankind - after all, He is God - does this mean I think he will let derision slide? No. But I do enjoy Christian humor and found this to be within those lines! Thank you!

Do Atheist's have low self esteem? If so why? Is it because they don't believe in God?
God’s Wisdom, Love and Power
People may wonder why, if God exists, He doesn’t wave a magic wand and fix things, making or at least influencing everyone so that they do exactly what they ‘should’ do. But God never takes away anyone’s freedom of choice. God’s wisdom is to recognize and respect each soul’s individual identity, freedom and inherent goodness. God shares knowledge – a profound understanding of the dualities and dilemmas of love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, etc. – but He does not make our choices for us. The soul is free to choose ‘to be or not to be’, ‘to love or not to love’. God’s love strengthens the soul’s will to free itself from the distresses caused by vices such as selfish desire, anger, fear, ego and attachment. God’s power helps the soul to recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practising the art of simple living and high thinking. Such practice by a significant number of souls eventually brings about positive change in the whole of humanity.
When you learn to tune your mind in meditation to the mind of God, then whatever the situation, you always have a source of help and strength to draw upon – an infinite reservoir of power and virtues that is only a thought away
Who is God?
We are used to knowing things by seeing them, hearing them, tasting them, touching or smelling them. Most of us have grown up in a ‘seeing–is–believing’ and ‘hands on’ culture and we are used to perceiving things in that way. Because we can’t see, hear, taste, touch or smell God, the question arises – is God for real?
One can reach out to God with pure thoughts and be connected to Him. The soul experiences the response of pure feelings and spiritual strength. God is truth itself and thus can be recognized with the eye of truth.
Where is God?
God lives, not everywhere but somewhere. A thought of God almost always takes the eyes upwards, as though one is perhaps expecting a face to miraculously appear from behind the clouds or to beam down from the moon. Thoughts are powerful. They link one soul to another. If they are properly channelled, thoughts can even go where only the soul can travel – beyond the moon and stars to a dimension of golden red light, the original home of all souls. Immersed in the experience of the warmth of this light, the soul feels as though it is truly at home at last, and with God.

I think that any God who allows people to choose to accept or reject him hardly has a self-esteem problem. Free Will is one of the key concepts of Christianity. You and I have a choice to either accept or reject Him. To me, that means he is a pretty confident being!

God doesn't have low esteem, so he's safe. Us on the other hand, well he still has hope for us.

God is an atheist.
He doesn't believe in a "Supreme Being" (relative to himself) and he does not follow a religion.
