I am drunk. I feel i should state that before I begin.
I am also a Christian, so I believe in god.
Okay, lets begin. God is a being not of this world, so technically he is an alien.
The question that has bubbled in my brain for quite some time is...
Is God the only one of his race?
He told us in the Bible his name is Jehovah.
Did he name himself that? Or perhaps his mother named him that.
Is God the last of some super-powerful race that can speak things into existence?
I do not know, nor will I ever know, unless he comes to speak to me personally.
Let's say he isn't. Then, is there a whole race of beings creating universes?
Maybe. A quote from Steven Wright enters my brain now.
"First we don't exist, then we are born and we do exist, then we live, and die, and don't exist anymore. So this whole thing is just an interruption from not existing."
If you do believe God created everything, then who created God?
One person told me that God in himself is self existing.
I believed that to be a crock of shit until I read a book by Kurt Vonnegut called "The Sirens of Titan" which had a theory called "the universal will to become"
If nothing existed, perhaps nothing wanted to become something, and became God, or Jehovah.
That part of the Bible has bothered me since I read it. Why would God tell us his name?
My personal belief is that God became because something had to become, why he created a universe and a planet within that universe to put humans and plants and shit on I do not know.
I do not believe we were his first or last experiment. Adam and Eve were obviously experiments in that he told them not to eat from a tree and they did.
If God knows everything then he knew they would eat that tree, he knew exactly how it would happen correct?
I do not think he can see into the future as he has become angry at us, you do not become angry unless you are surprised. If he created us and made us to make him angry... that makes no sense at all.
So he cannot see into the future, most Christians believe he can.
I cannot provide answers to these questions or ideas, I just present them to you all modestly.
My last thought: Jesus did not go around trying to convince people to believe God exists or that he was his son. So why do Christians today obsess with the belief in him as the only way to salvation?

Jehovah is a mistranslation of Yahweh.

God, I would like to mention, did not write a damn thing ever.
He's....she's.....
it's all thumbs and suffers from a serious case of dyslexia...hoohoohoo hahahah
couldn't even write ten measly commandments on his...her....its own. He/she/it had to send some elderly man who had been out in the desert for a bit WAAAAY up a damn mountain where some bush was burning and the guy had to ETCH the shit on stone. Fucking etched it with the hammer and tablet and the thingy that you hit the hammer with to engrave it in stone. What is that called exactly an engraver? And what a bummer it had to be to come down and see the people he had risked his ass on to save from fucking SLAVERY worshiping some other idol. I'd be pissed too but let me clear some things up about ole poots. If I go to manually engraving things in stone that shit is going to be around for a bit. capiche? I'm not going to throw and break it at a lousy unappreciative mob no mater how angry I am. No no no no. I mean maybe I'm old fashioned but when it comes to 10-20 days of hard ass engraving I'm going to be a little bit more proud of my work than that. Hell, it could have been machine tooled for just a couple of hours and I would still not have been that crazy to throw and break my hard work. Unless god told me to then yeah, sure but on my own volition, certainly not.
Thou shall not break unto thee any graven images....

I love being an atheist.
These questions don't take a second of runtime.
