God is a utility 'monster' and that is fine.
Religious Views: An infinite mind exists. We would call this God.

(June 13, 2020 at 6:26 am)The Grand Nudger Wrote: Classical utilitarianism states that we should bring about the greatest good for the greatest number.  The idea that a being called a god determines good and evil by what it likes is subjectivism, not utilitarianism.

If God is capable of experiencing infinitely more happiness and suffering than what is experienced on this tiny planet then his happiness and suffering absolutely does outweigh ours under classical utilitarianism.

To simplify things, image that there are 7 billion humans on this planet and each experiences just 1 hedon of utility. That equates to a total utility of 7 billion.

Now image that God alone is capable of experiencing an infinite amount of hedons. Infinity is a lot more than 7 billion. Do you see now?
