I do not question your feelings, I do believe your sincerity. But contrary to ants, we are capable of love and hate. The ants are indifferent to the kid because they are not capable of love or hate, and I doubt the level o awareness they can really have of the kid. Anyways, cool answer. |
Perhaps a God would not be aware of our conscience the way we can't tell much about ants. With the ant farm analogy I'm thinking that if God were real he or it would be in a different dimension or plane of existence, the way we look at a 2 dimensional ant farm. We're omnipresent while looking at that slice of ant colony, we can effect it in certain ways influencing their behaviour, yet the ants never seem to grasp the human intervention. Meanwhile while we can perform 'miracles' on the ant farm, we lack the finesse to influence individual ant's level of happiness.
Not that we are ants, but that there would be a similar difference between humans and a hypothetical god as between ants and a person. Therefore no, I would not love or hate an external entity, it would feel as indifferent as the passage of time.
