Perhaps God is just expressing itself? Like an artist?

I have contemplated this at times. But I guess I like to think that I am the one witnessing the work of the artist. Of course some could argue in essence we are saying the same thing.

So we exist for the sake of the universe's existence?
It appears that you cannot stand the critical thought of philosophical examination.

So your trying to claim that it makes sense, that a highly enlightened entity who created the entire universe, 'used' to be a misogynist who promoted rape and torture. But then just changed his mind and decided it was evil, just 3,000 years later?
Clearly, you haven't devoted much time pondering this warped logic.

But you didn't provide any, you just berated another persons belief system without reason. Personally I see Christianity as just another expression of Buddhism, Jesus the son is Atman, the Father is Brahman and the Holy Ghost is Shakti which explains why Christians say Jesus was GOD because Jesus reached the enlightened stage of Brahman the Father. But like the Torah, many metaphors have hidden meanings so its easy to dismiss if you don't take the time to study and understand its deeper intent. Peace and love.
Many Christians think that repentance and forgiveness was only taught once. But the Buddhist texts also talk about repenting from sin and entering into union with Brahman, the father.

I think you misunderstand ego.
