If God exists, why did he create life? (The nature of a \'Creator\')

life is an experiment devised for God's entertainment, and the random distribution of pain and pleasure offers no evidence to indicate that he has any personal interest in us as individuals. If so, he has no relevance to our lives. This should not be seen as an attempt to pass judgement (I'm not that presumptuous!), but only as an attempt to make sense of the world as we know it.-In Judaism at the Passover Sedar there is a prayer often sung called "Dayanu",meaning: it is enough. Whatever God has done for us is enough. HE has given us life. We are here to battle with it and enjoy it. I'm not ready to leave life. I have enjoyed most of it. I have been privileged to be alive. It is enough, Dayanu! And that is Judaisms' answer to your question.
