The way I figure it, one of a few possibilities is true:
1 there is a god. He lets all the bad shit happen, and therefore isn't worthy of dedication.
B: there is no god. Shit happens. Nobody is there to be worthy of dedication.
III- there is a god. It kicked off the big bang and sat back to watch. Either it has the ability to affect positive change and doesn't, or it can't. In which case, it's still not worthy of dedication.
The end result is the same for me
The fact that you used 3 different list symbols got me lmao
Cuatro.- God is all powerful but its also evil. Chthulhu timeline!
That's covered by possibility number 1.
Idk, I would dedicate my life to a evil god if I knew it was real.
At least it's not pretending to be something it's not, I guess.
A few more:
Delta, there is a god and he's good because nothing in this reality really matters, it's just a test (for us) or experiment (that we are a part of).
Five) after being more hands on in the old times, and trying many different things, god decided to try again elsewhere and just lets shit play out as it will here.
六> We are god experiencing a reality as lesser beings because it gets boring being all powerful and knowing. Any godly effects are done for entertainment purposes rather than making things better or worse.
Five) is a good one. Like "oh shit.... I fucked this one up too much, I guess I'll see how it turns out but I'm gonna start over with a new batch"
I'd love to see someone more creative with writing than me do some writing prompts with that premise. Maybe have someone from this universe ascend or something and actually confronts god as they're spending time with their new
familycreation.六> is also a good one, it reminds me of the idea that every single person is God. And when all of humanity has finally lived and died, god will become a single consciousness and join the rest of their kind. It kind of pairs poetically with Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.
Yeah, that last one is my preferred one. Who knows if it's true or not, but if I could pick which one was true, I'd pick that one. I think it would have the best combination of getting all questions answered while also being able to keep existence interesting. It's a way to be immortal without regretting it, if mortality even applies to whatever we really are that is experiencing all of this.
I wonder if there were eons of boredom before the possibly even occurred and if there will be eons more of boredom after the one ends. Or if there's simultaneously a multitude of planets with life that we can experience. Maybe even a multitude of universes to experience life on.
Going really far with the idea, there's a possibility that all fiction and creative storytelling is actually a part of us just recounting something that happened to other parts of us in places with similar rules or very different ones.
Like infinite monkeys in infinite universes with infinite laws of physics and infinite definitions of "monkey" playing out every possible permutation of every possible existence.
But what if good & evil does not exist in an objective sense, and it depends on individual circumstances? Then the god obv need not conform to the standards. They can be both good and evil.
Idk about worshipping part, people seem to worship powerful beings.
