And that is what I expected to hear. Can I ask you a question? Why didn't your God just create robots to entertain himself? Why does your god find it prideful if you find joy and enthusiasm in a particular thing, especially when you worked real hard for it? That thing can be anything, why must you be devoid of the pride and joy that comes along with success?

He's your God too. The Lord created us unique because he was perhaps lonely. No one wants a carbon copy of themselves that wouldn't bring any joy in our father. The bible says “Nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works” (Ecclesiastes 3:22) we can rejoice in the accomplishments of our hard work but joy and pride are different. the difference being one flaunts this is me I did this its a selfish love kept to oneself it leads to emptiness. while the other is having joy and love in others its fulfilling and leads to happiness.

Did you birth yourself, and give yourself the talents, abilities, and intelligence that facilitated your success?

The obvious answers are no, no, no, and no. Give glory to God and be grateful for your good life.

That does not make you a robot, either.

Tell me what your idea of pride is?

According to the Bible, pride is sinful and displeasing to God. It represents an inflated sense of self and a focus
on self-glorification rather than glorifying God. Pride is considered rebellion against God because it attributes
to oneself the honor and glory that only God is due. It is the opposite of humility, which greatly pleases God.

I see that, I do sense god has some kind of illness or affliction. Do you ever think that it is possible that we are some kind of video game that god created, and we are not of 100% freewill and fully control of our lives like we so ignorantly think we are?

I do believe god arranged our genes in such a way that lead to our abilities. I guess I can thank god for the abilities he gave me, but I feel that he had put a cap on my abilities almost rendering me unaware of them growing up and from time to time, now. From the poor teachers (not all of them), to the distractions from the class morons, to the critical peers all played a role in keeping me down.

I had to make a serious effort to break free of that blocker and I blame god for that as he is the one who arranges each person's setting in life. Once I came into my own, I realized what things were holding me back. I feel like god gave me something, but didn't want me to take full advantage of my capabilities. Go figure?

God does have history of keeping me down.

No I think God spent great many years thinking how he would design the world and the universe and heaven. But when he was told of the evils in Noah's day he was sorry he had ever made us.
God chastise us for our good he never causes us to be hurt that's the devil. Our heavenly father is the best father in the world he never leaves us he always there. The friend you have today are likely unforgiving you say something wrong they are gone but God he there forever.

When the floods came, do you think everyone affected by them were evil? That is an angry God who did not spare any innocent lives.

Planet, these people weren't innocent 5 Then [a]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent[b] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil [c]continually. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
