OK why did god make us if he already had angels to praise and love him?

ok so now the angels are forced to praise god but what about satan? It looks like he had free will and was not force to do anything

Satan was an angel before and was kicked out of heaven because of free will so angels do have free will

He wanted to share all He had with us.

Because men were to take roles in God's kingdom that were not a part of what angels were to take. Angels are amongst other things God's messengers. They are spirit. Men are spirit and flesh. Men have other things to do in his kingdom that are not what angels were created for.
As a Christian, my eventual place in Heaven will be as an adopted brother of Christ. An heir to His throne.
If you understand a Will and Testament, the testator died, and the inheritance goes to the inheritors. The inheritors are those who trust in God, and believe in Christ. That was his Will and Testament. It was stated here:

Start at verse 6.

Angels were created as servants of God. They are ministering spirits, created to minister to Him. I believe God wanted someone who was more like Him, so He created man in His own image. I have always suspected that we can know a lot about what God is like by looking at ourselves (without the sin, of course). God is creative; we are creative. God has a sense of humor; we have a sense of humor. God wants people to love Him freely, not by force; we want people to love us for who we are, not because they have to. I'm not sure the angels have all these same attributes, because they are a different species than we are.

Angels were made to praise Him. He got bored w/ creatures that "had" to praise Him for that is how they were made.
He wanted a creature to unconditionally love Him by choice. In way like we are with an animal (cat, dog, etc). He wanted a creature that could choose to be with Him or not. And if they choose to be with Him, then He knew that they loved Him for Him and not cause they were designed that way.

Angels were made to praise him, so they "Have" to praise God. When he created us, he gave us free will, so we choose to love and praise him. it's much nicer knowing that someone loves you because they want to, not because they have to.

Angels are special messengers of God. Angels are created primarily so they may glorify God and His Christ, for they were created for Him (Col. 1:16). It was for God's pleasure and ascribe Him to glory, and honor and power.
Our purpose is different.

There are two known realms, the spiritual and the physical. God wanted to fill the physical realm with life also.

Maybe he grew up a little bit and got kind of sick of all the worship. There's hope for this god character afterall.

Angels have no love in them. They can only obey.

Because He wanted to.
Which is, after all, all that really matters.
