I often wonder why an omniscient, ominpresent, all powerful being would do anything at all. Doing seems to imply effort to effect some kind of change, and the motivation to make changes indicates some kind of dissatisfaction or yearning. Why create anything? We do it because we strive. Why does God do it?
Why would God be any more interested in us than in the rest of his creation? Frankly, I think we'd have to be pretty uninteresting to a god who operates on the scale of the Christian God. After all, How intersting is bacteria to us, other than our fascination with evolution and our striving to avoid being sick. The Christian conception of god doesn't allow for a being who needs to discover anything. We certainly don't love bacteria, the way god supposedly loves us. Why would we, and why would he?
When god was Zeus, he was for more interesting, and far more likely to be interested in us every once in a while. But, the Christian desire to make god into this eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful being satisfied their desire for God to be a completely undefeatable being, but destroyed any motivation that he would even think about us.
It is an incredible ego trip that such a being would, beyond all reason, think we are important. It is one of seductions of Christian thought... of all the memes contained therein, the one that most assures it's survival, despite the inherent illogic. People like thinking they're important on a grand scale.
It all boils down to: When man conceived of Christianity he was flattering himself.
