If we exist just to enjoy existing, then that's aswefully nice of god and thanks are due.
You must think that everyone has as good a life as you do.
What about the little baby that is born and lives for two days in agony before dying, should that baby be grateful to God?

The answer is easy
Asking why the world was created is really a question to be answered by religion.
I'd say most members here when talking about God are referring to the God of the Bible.
The creation story is in the Old testament, so we look for clues there.
When we look there, I think the answer is rather obvious.
The God of the Old Testament, yahweh, is nothing more than an animal, a bloodthirsty, disgusting creature who revels in the suffering and death of countless millions of men, women and children.
Yahweh is evil, pure and simple, and it is obvious that He created the world for His sick pleasure.
Yahweh is a barbarian, a sadistic creature whose only pleasure is to sit back and laugh at millions of babies starving to death, little children suffering with a range of cancers, old people that can barely walk and suffering from a range of painful disorders all created by Yahweh for his amusement.
So, the world was created by an evil, bloodthirsty, sadistic animal for His own pleasure.
Brian.

Re: The answer is easy
And don't forget the billions of people burning in Hell for not being sufficiently sycophantic. Or for being sycophants in the wrong way.
Indeed.
And created in the foreknowledge that they would not be sufficiently sycophantic or sycophantic the wrong way.
Imagine creating a person knowing before you created him/her that they would be burning in Hell forever.
What a nasty pices of work.
Well worthy of worship too!
Praise the Lord.
Brian.
