Let me think about this for a second.
What do I actually want from a God?
Not what someone else told me.
Not what a religion said I should want.
But honestly — what do I want from a God?
I guess if I had to boil it down, the first thing I'd want — no question — is this:
A God has to defeat death.
I mean, come on — death is the one force everything in the universe eventually submits to. On a long enough timeline, everything dies. People. Stars. Ideas. Planets. Civilizations.
So if a being doesn't defeat death — I don't care how powerful, wise, or cosmic they are — they're not God. Period.
Second?
A God has to be good.
And I don't mean the way we talk about "good" on Twitter or politics or Sunday school. I mean actually good — in motive, in mind, in soul. A being that isn't just behaviorally clean, but morally incorruptible.
Not "I didn't cheat" — but lives in a fantasy of pornography.
Not "I never killed anyone" — but slanders and poisons everyone with their tongue.
Not "I go to church" — but manipulates behind closed doors.
Nah — if we're talking about a God, then I want one that doesn't just do good things — He is good.
So now I've got my two qualifiers:
1. He has to defeat death.
2. He has to be morally perfect.
I start looking around.
Is there anyone — in all of history, legend, religion, science, or myth — that checks those two boxes?
Only one ever claimed both.
Jesus Christ.
And the thing is… He didn't just say it. He lived it. He died by it. And if the records hold, He rose to prove it.
This is between you, me, and God. I will never sell, share, or misuse this. You have my word.
— David Lowe
To continue, you must choose:
And for me?
I want the first one.
Not because He's safe. But because He's true.
And He's already offered everything I'd ever ask from a God—
before I even knew how to ask.
Do you want to see what others wrote when they answered the question?
(Only responses from those who chose to proceed are shown)
"What do you want from a God?"
"Someone who sees me completely and loves me anyway."
"I want truth, even if it hurts. I'm tired of comfortable lies."
"Justice. Real justice. Not the broken kind we have here."
More responses will appear here as others complete their journey.
The full framework awaits.
A rigorous proof that evil cannot originate from good—and what that means for the problem of evil.
