I can totally imagine a God that made everything thing else as merely decorative creations to serve his most loved and primary creation. God didnt create cow because he likes them, but because they would serve humans, I doubt God gives a hoot about cows '"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ' God cares about the rest of creation, but values humans higher. Also, your "human-centric" sticking point is only a problem if we assume that religion really is just made up. But for followers of religion, specifically, Christianity, there really is a God and the Bible is His word. You can't go "God is terrible because what about aliens" when there's no theological basis for believing there is a sentient alien race somewhere in the universe, let alone that God doesn't care about them. --- Currently Binging: Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex http://i.imgtc.com/YQId2Bz.png ...
