Own goals
gollark: Easy. Many goals a god could have would be harder to achieve if there were other gods interfering. So obviously they would immediately engage in wars of extermination.
gollark: That just pushes the problem up a level.
gollark: I do not understand your sentence.
gollark: We do know how the world (the Earth, that is) was created. We don't know how the universe came into existence, but you have exactly the same issue with a god.
gollark: It might actually be worse in that case, because at least for the universe thing you can just lean on the anthropic principle - if things *had* gone differently such that we did not exist, we would not be here to complain about it.
