    It never seems to occur to them that if there was an entity so powerful that it could literally create an entire Universe out of nothing, and then monitor the progress of ever single element of that Universe, then that entity would be far too complex for our puny human minds to even comprehend.

    And yet there are those among us who would dare to claim to know exactly what that all-powerful entity is thinking, and what it wants from us, and oh, yeah, it always costs a lot of money, gimme.

      This always confused me too. It would be like an ant trying to understand the motivations of a human.

        I have used that exact analogy, asking why the omniscient entity would care about the needs of any single individual ant out of a colony of billions?
