What you say only applies to the concept of a lone, supreme, universe creating god who is himself outside the universe, as advocated by Christianity and Islam.  These objections do not necessarily apply to concepts of beings less over reaching than the “my god is so big it is bigger than any conceivable bigness” sort of puffed up Christian hyperventilation.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I guess I should have clarified that I was not including other gods because, as it would seem, I was talking about the kind of God you speak of.  Nothing other than that.

But either way, tell me, how could the universe have happened if God did not exist? Thing is, I am pretty sure that God does not exist. There are many ways for something to happen. I can say that the universe could have formed in a way without the need for a supreme being.

Still, tell me, you weren't directly talking about what I said about the universe not being made for humans, were you?

That said, if a god was to be responsible for the universe, if I read your post correctly, I think the less over reaching gods would not be needed to make things happen that are of their domain. Gods of lightning, love, fire, the sea, etc., those things can be, and most likely have been brought to existence without their respective gods.

So even without talking about the supreme being itself, which still does not exist, what I said, may be applicable to less over reaching gods, if I read your post correctly, if that is what you mean by less over reaching gods (I could be wrong); in their case, there is still more individualization, but we don't have to put the universe itself into the equation, right?
