If we were created for god's pleasure, why Is it wrong for us to indulge. Sounds hypocritical if you ask me.

Yes is an Answer. I like you Maul!! But I'm not crazy about the Old Testament. It says, more or less, that God was lonely!! Doesn't fit for me. Others say that he wants us to have free will. Fine. Than there should be no punishment. You got me and I'm a Christian 100%. I just know He's real and that the Holy Spirit lives inside of me. Maybe I should Leave this category now!! You think??

Not to devalue life on Earth, but if God did create humanity it was like a science project, that to him went terribly wrong. He creates humans with natural instincts and needs, then when we use them he deems us wicked and evil. Every once and a while he decides to start it over and causes a cataclysmic event that wipes everything out. He wants his cake and eat it too. and if the world is to end based on what God has told us, then I feel it is petty and such a waste of everything (time, the universe, knowledge, life itself.)

God created humanity so that beings would have free will seperate from creation in order to perceive the work of the creator. This idea allows for one God to be loved by innumerable amounts of lesser gods.

God truly works in mysterious ways, my son. He is inscrutable. Especially His ironic sense of humor.
Take the creation of malaria plasmodia, for instance, or the African Guinea worm or the death of all dinosaurs after 180 million years of existence, flattened by God tossing an asteroid into our planet's orbital path. All remarkable examples of His divinely inscrutable playfulness.

He created us for His pleasure...Hoping we'd love Him in return for all He does for us.
The trials and tests are because sin in the world and it's not the perfect place He originally designed.
He is outside of time....even knowing how we would react and respond He still had a choice to decide not to create us.

I'm not Christian, but in those terms, humans represented a new type of consciousness which is only now reaching a peak in its evolution.(it has not peaked yet) Don't under estimate humanity's value and purpose.

I really don't know why he couldn't have created a host of other gods to keep him company. Why did he need beings that were lower than him?

No, I think we are a demonstration of how mercy and justice can be reconciled. We have the will to choose, we are all guilty, so the option is beg for mercy or face justice.
Enjoy the ride.

God's purpose in creating humanity was that he wanted us to control the earth and to glorify him. He created us in his own likeness, in order to glorify Him, but we sinned, so he could not allow us in the perfect garden we had found. So he sent his Son to die for our sins, so that we may be redeemed, and have eternal life.
