How does this acceptance of other universes differ from accepting the possibility of a Deity? It can easily be argued that we will never be in a position to detect God or rule God out, doesn't mean God isn't there however. I'm not talking a personal God at this point, just the possibility of a Deity, by using the same logic you provided here.
Belief in an entity that caused our reality is fine to me. I understand that is deism right? The problem arises in history both past and recent when theist use this possible entity to lay down laws for others. Uses this to kill others in it's name. Forces others to accept (and yes it still happens today just with indocrination of children instead of the threat of death) their version of this entity.
That is what this post is about if I am understanding things right.
I see this in these forum ALOT. The theist will say "see God does exist because you can't explain where this all came from." but in the same breath they will say "so why cant you accept my version of this God instead of the hundreds of other versions of this god?"
It may be that an ultimate entity made all this. we may never know. however, i think it absolute arrogance to think that the creator of this vast reality cares about you or me so much as to worry about our choice in it's belief or even better if we give in to our sexual desire and spill our seed on the ground.
Maybe my idea of god is too vast to be troubled to have someone write about itself. It certainly wouldn't need our worship or even want it. It wouldn't pick just one set of people to favor over others on a tiny rock that just happen to support life.
I'll say it again...arrogance...
