God created us for our potential, not for our presence.

The purposes of any God surely requires that mankind's evolution
takes us further onward on the route to ultimate holiness,
from morality to love of others without thought of self;
to love as a God might love, in God's very image
to be equally loving, loved and lovable.

The purposes of God must lie in leading us
towards that perfect state of existence
which Jesus is said to have called
the Kingdom of Heaven.
