A: Take a look around, see how everything is? G_D put it that way. We can tell a lot about what G_d likes because he put everything just how he wants it.
Q: What does the world tell us about G_d?
A: G_d likes things just the way they are. He has an inordinate fondness for beetles, hopeless poverty, Chinese peasants and war.
Q: War!?
A: We see that war and genocide are common. This tells us that it is good. We see that religious wars are among the bloodiest and most brutal. This tells us that bloody and brutal the are better. G_d obviously made the different religions, like teams in a league, so that there are more opportunities for religious wars.
A: We don't know, but you can believe me - there must be a good reason. Purpose and G_d just go together. You can't have a purpose for everything unless there is some all-knowing all-powerful being to decide what that purpose is.
Q: What is the purpose?
A: We don't know, but you can believe me - there must be a good reason. Purpose and G_d just go together. You can't have a purpose for everything unless there is some all-knowing all-powerful being to decide what that purpose is.
