Still struggling.

This is hopefully meant to be somewhat comforting:

The biggest assumption people make, without even realising it usually, is that "God" realizes we are self-aware.

Once you replace the stupid cartoon characters with just an actual, sensible being that somehow created a "reality", and remove the egocentric assumption that the whole reality is here just for us, it seems unlikely it would know this. For example, we create potential "realities" all the time. A computer program, for example. If parts of that program manifested themselves somehow, and bits of it became self-aware, how on earth would we know that? Even if the characters turned to us and told us they were self aware, we wouldn't believe them.

Imagine those characters worshipping us, and making up stories about how powerful and magical we are, without having any way to confirm any of it. Sound familiar?

To me, it seems far more logical and likely that any potential creator hasn't got a clue about this. And in fact, it probably hasn't even noticed us at all when you look at the scale of the whole creation, and the relatively short amount of time humans will have been around.

In other words, God is indifferent to us, if there is one. Anything else is pure fantasy. He doesn't care what we're doing, at all.
