I would ask please, if the following questions were answered, the best that you can, in the order that they are posted. Thanks.
1) God, has always been there, before anything else, God was there, so how long was he there in solitary before he decided to create the Universe and us?
2) Why did God create us, Humans?

I can't say I was ever expecting you to share anything with me that I'd need to be discreet about. As to Khandro's thing -- there was a very deliberate reason I asked, but it seems it's moot now, as I wanted to draw the mods' attention to the relevant post.
In the highly unlikely event that we ever did meet in real life, and you ever did see fit to trust me with something, then I'm actually rather reliable. But since that's not going to happen, you'll never know. Perhaps it would be better if you kept your character ill-judgements to yourself for a change.

Jim, no chance. Had you wanted to draw the attention of someone who could have done something about Khandro’s error, the simplest way would have been to report it quietly – as I did. You know how this place works. As it was your thoughtlessness was likely to draw the attention of all and sundry to something that, despite my attempt to deter you, you elaborated upon. Should you and I ever meet in real life you may rest assured it will not be as a result of my design. The soul of discretion you are not.
According to Quran (just like Bible) God has always been and always will be. Time, and its concept depends on our own ability and the way we have accepted it or use it in our lives.
As for your second question, again according to Quran God created human to “worship” him. But this word worship is usually taken on face value. Its not like one should just sit on an isolated island and cut him off from the world and just keep on worshipping God the way he believes. Islamic meaning of worship is that human should live the way God wants them to live, not only for themselves , but also for their neighbours, for society and for this whole humankind as well as each and everything (known or unknown to him them) should benefit from their actions.
In the end, human will never know about everything and it is a fact. We human are trying to find about other planets but we still do not know perhaps more than 50% of our own planet.

Makes me wonder why you are so keen to share your own opinions so often when you aren't interested in anyone else's. But there you go.
And, as I say, you are simply wrong about who I am as a person outside the confines of AB. You can't know that, and you never will, but perhaps you should bear in mind the limits of your own personal experiences more often before rushing to judgement.
