I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

If god existed (it doesn't by the way) I bet it would want all of the children it allegedly made (mankind) to love and respect each other.

Thats a way of telling people to do good and be good.God is just a mental support.

Want indicates desire. Desire indicates a lack of something.
How can an all-powerful being lack something?

God wanted a perfect and rightous family.
He provided that.
God provides all things he wants.
