Well, since god is an invention of man then man and woman created me. The only way god tests me is when I get testy when christians try to convert me and want me to believe in a god that has not at all been proven to exist. And no, the bible doesn't count as proof of god because man wrote the bible. That is a definite fact.

God created each of us with a purpose...His purpose. We have to seek Him to find out what that is. Read the Bible, the User manual written by the Manufacturer. It's the key to getting the most out of your life. I recommend the New King James version or the New International version, and start with the book of Mark, as it's short and reads like an action story. Then Acts, then Romans. If you start with the Old Testament you'll get bored with the details before you get to the point...especially while you're reading Leviticus and all those genealogies. I suggest reading it after you have covered the New Testament, then read the New Testament again, and the whole thing will make more sense. Another book worth reading is The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. Not inspired like scripture (except where he quotes the Bible), but will help to point you in the right direction. Blessings!

It was clay and water with which God created Carl Sagan, the seed of living beings and among living beings, God created man. With an independent self, to put him in the test and to see, how he responds independently to the Commandments of The God, The Lord Almighty.
It was a perfect creation, with a perfect free discretion. God blessed him with a female to raise tribes and generations and to spread them on the earth and to address them always through The Lords messengers. God ordained for him and for his dependents a day of judgement and created heavens of his own choice and hells against his choice. So, O the Mankind! Always choose Gods will to be safe, because between God and you there is no one to affect the judgement of your Lord.
Listen to the Lord! All the tribes, generations and people. God blessed you with freedom of choice and captured you from the top of your head after your creation. God ordained death to declare the end of the test. Nothing is like this but the test ordained for you by your God, The All Able Lord.
Do not make an image of God and worship it. Whosoever will do so, will be held as an enemy of God. God does not resemble things. Things maybe of any kind, physical or meta physical, existent or non existent. Whatsoever is captured, touched or felt by the senses is not God. Worship God, Honour God and Serve God and always remember that God is Unseen. In this world whosoever is worshipping image or image like things is not worshipping the Almighty Unseen God of all the things in heavens and earth.
God created everything, the whole universe and then created ‘you’ and gave you the knowledge of good and bad. So do good, because God wants you to do good to meet the good of God.

God created you and me for a purpose, he created us because he wanted to :O). If you had all the power to create something, what would you do with it? Just like a very talented painter, if a painter paints a wonderful painting...he's going to love and cherish that painting! If someone comes along and damages that painting....then it is ruined and worthless! But if the artist loves his painting regardless, he won't destroy it.
God could of chosen to trash or destroy us all if he wanted to, but he didn't. His masterpiece was ruined by sin, when the angels and humans rebelled against him. But he gave us another chance! That's why Jesus, God in the flesh...became a man, to die on the cross for the people he created....only because He loves us no matter what we've done...which is called "Agape love".
That's why he gave us two options to choose from...Hell....or in His home...called heaven. As like, a painting that hangs on the wall of the home of the painter. Man will be able to live with his creater. The masterpiece will be restored, when the damage is removed.

No. To glorify him.
We endure trials and tribulations for the perfecting of our souls. We often can't identify with others pain or God's plan if we do not suffer some adversity. That is just the nature of man. This is why the rich are often believed to be greedy. (Not that I agree or that it is true in all cases.) However, when we have more than we need we tend to forget God, but he is always faithful to us. He said that we call on him in the day of trouble and he hears us! It helps to remember that we are not humans having a spiritual experience, but rather spirits having a human experience. We belong to God. He is making us into what pleases him.
The potter analogy is a good one. Ever heard the clay say to the potter, "Hey, don't throw me like that! Put these many grooves in my surface! Don't leave me in the kiln except for a minute!" If clay could say all these things, the potter would most likely ignore the complaints for he knows what vision he has in mind for his design.
God is more compassionate a potter than that. He hears our cries and after a time of trial he gives us rest and refreshing. In the fire or out, tossed or turned on the wheel of life, or resting in preparation to be cured, trust him! He is making you a wonderous thing for his glory! God bless you.

God does not desire robots. So he gave man free will. and because there has to be a choice [right or wrong] he gave us a choice eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or obey and not. He said on that day he ate man would die...and we did, we died spiritually. seperated from God by the gulf of sin, never on our own being able to correct that mistake. There must be a payment for the sin we commit. and all have sinned. who taught me to lie when I was a baby? no one! think of that cute little baby girl that reaches out and (knowing full well) pokes the other kid in the eye. it's the sin nature that continues to be passed on from gen to gen.
So no we were not created for testing but for fellowship. and the work of redemption of mankind was done by Jesus Christ. the only perfect man ever to be born. If you want to know about God...He will meet you right where you are at. If you are sincere it says in Jeremiah 29:13 " And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." ask Him to show Himself to you and you will not be sorry. It's the best life there is, knowing the creator.

God did not create us just to test us, but testing builds strength.
Take for an example;;; Someone who joins the military, they are tested everyday in training,they are put through physical and mental training. This is to ensure that they are strong enough to defend themselves in both manners.
Spiritual life is basically the same, in order to strengthen our will to overcome evil and live a life that will ensure us a spiritual life in heaven testing is a form of endurance.

To worship the Father. Not to test. God does not test and try to mess people up. The devil is the one that tempts you with evil.

God knows what is in the hearts of men. I believe God created us so we can self discover what is in our hearts. What is in our heart leads to our actions and attitudes in regrard to righteousness or evil.
The Q is, what is in our hearts?
This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of men, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead. -Ecclesiastes 9:3
