Premise: God exists. But God isn't what we think of it as being but rather...Begin speculation.
- God isn't what our religions describe it being. It's something bigger, grander, vaster, and more mind-numbingly complicated. A being which can create worlds, and the whole of the universe isn't gonna pluck a hair over what an individual does. I'd think such a being will view life as a whole rather than as individuals like with sinners/not sinners. When we examine simple life like spores and fungus, we don't say 'that's a 'good spore' or that's a evil fungus. It's all just spores or fungus. So it likely would be with a God. Any 'god' who did feel certain ways about life differentiating between good or bad life would not then be anyone worth worshipping because it's biased and petty. You really think "God" cares more about religion x, y, or z than the rest of life?
- Maybe while God exists, it isn't sentient at all like we are. Maybe what we've taken to calling God is simply a force of nature naturally extant in this universe? Some kind of manifestation of life existing in the universe which results from the sum of all life everywhere. A kind of group-think manifestation. Quantum mechanics states we alter the physical reality of a particle simply by observing it. So what happens when many observe the same thing? What happens when an entire universe of living things observes the night sky? Do we all create stars and planets because we expect to see stars and planets up there?
