I have no idea why God does what he does. I know that people often do petty and silly things with their limited resources. I suspect that if they were given unlimited resources they would contiune to do petty and silly things. Maybe God is the same way. Or maybe, from God's perspective, it's not as petty and silly as you think.

You worship a god, but you can't understand him and don't know what he's trying to accomplish? I actually believe this is how you & many others feel. You can't know for sure that he's doing good works constantly. He might just cause human misery to release some occasional stress as far as you know.

Given your statements, I think it'd be easy to pick "Not sure at all. I can only hope and pray I'm worthy." in OP's poll. How you could be know god's mind to answer otherwise?

Fisrt, if you believe in applying the rules of logic to God (which I don't, but you probably do), then he must be good by definition.

As for your sencond point, I believe that I can have more confidence than that, becuase the ways in which God has interacted with people seems to me to indicate that he desires to save anyone who wants salvation. I do believe that being "worthy" has nothing to do with it.

Of course, he could just randomly send people to heaven and hell, but if that is the case, then there is nothing I can do aobut it, so I don't worry about it.
