If God is eternally complete and self-sufficient, what motivation could there possibly be for creating a universe? Does creation imply a "need" or "desire" within God?

Creation is a free act of love. God is very very happy and truly happy people want to host big parties at their houses for the dregs of existence.

Why not? In His goodness He may have wanted some creatures with whom to share His eternal fulfillment. However, He gave His creatures (angels, mankind) the choice because they wouldn't really be separate entities if they were forced into union with Him.

No we didn't. You were and every other christian were not in the garden of eden. As for the story, what people miss about Adam and S̶t̶e̶v̶e̶ Eve, is that they were VERY young. Like not even a month old. You wouldn't fault a toddler for fucking up or not listening. Add Yahweh's alleged omniscience and the story gets even more retarded.

>pic
what a stupid quote, if we take it as a human who's trying to achieve perfection it essentially argues that it's beyond our understanding since our idea of perfection is ultimately limited and thus "everything" (the universe) is perfect
what a stupid way to phrase it

we can survive without consuming each other
