Because He is the creator of all. And without Him you wouldn't be around.

He's the one that gives me life physically and, more importantly, spiritually. And everlasting life at that!

So why do we need God and for what purpose in our lives?

because human beings are weak by nature so therefore we feel the need for some omnipotent external force by which we can put all expectations on and never be proved wrong.

What expectations would that be?

Some of us don't need God; and we set our own purpose in life.

When some one says "we" and "us", that means they put themselves in that group. So what are you doing here in this religion forum if you don't need God?  What is your purpose in this forum?

Two purposes, actually:

1. Enjoyment of intellectually stimulating discussion.
2. A quest for Truth. (Although I think it's rather unlikely the Christian God exists, I can't rule out the possibility that he does. )

You don't.  he gave you that choice.  

You may not like what happens in your life, and what happens after it.

But he promised you free will.

Not free will, but true will.  



Not everyone has been given all the information to make proper assessments or decisions...

OP, I really don't get why you keep posting questions, don't like the answers, and then ask for your threads to be locked.
