I have this strong suspicion that people have no idea what the word “god” means, and that they just make up whatever is convenient when they don’t know. “Well, if a god exists, then surely he’d be able to do that.” And essentially this means that no two people believe in the same god. This is also closely related to ignosticism.
Furthermore, I think it’s likely that if capital G God did exist, then he’s very likely dumber than the average human being. Just like we’re trying to create AIs that are smarter than us, he might have set the same thing up with us. Just because you can create a universe or two doesn’t mean you’ve also got to be smart or kind or special.
