Because for that which is perfect there cannot be any reason to create, there cannot be any action. Action implies a goal. If you are perfect, you have no goals: everything already is in its proper place.
He created because He is love and wanted other beings to enjoy what he had the ability to provide.
We are talking about the alleged need to believe in a god.
If God is part of your community. He's not some impersonal thing sitting in the corner watching as you and your friends play.
There is not much else for him in this game besides adoration and amusement.
His name's at stake. That's pretty big one would think? The Devil made some implications about His right to rule over human beings. At the same time, he implied that each of us, if it came between God and our own lives, we'd deny God.
Why would he do that? An entirely useless experiment he could avoid altogether by simply using his foreknowledge?
Then what's the point of allowing you to live? See the first point. He could have destroyed those two, and the devil, and started over, or just let it be, but he chose not to. Aren't you glad you're alive and he's giving you a chance to make a choice?
Indeed.
You are welcome.
If he deliberately created us with that need, why did he leave nothing but an odd book behind to inform us about all the things we ought to know? Why is that book not enough for me to believe? I am the lock, why does the key designed to open me fail to accomplish its only purpose?
This questions says more about you than it does the book. Have you really asked Him to help you understand it? Have you even read it, or basing your opinions on what others have said about it? You could be letting your eternal future play out based on somebody else's opinion. He hates people who aren't humble and actually makes it impossible for you to understand what you are reading. If you are sincerely interested in getting satisfying answers to your questions, ask him to help you understand.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
Your god is quite vain, too. I doubt many theologians would support this description.
Your opinion.
