Many people feel that a godless universe would be a frightening place, vast, amoral and empty of meaning.
​
Others, including myself, would find a universe ruled by an all-powerful God much more unsettling, especially if that God were the despotic tyrant that Iano, amongst others here, seems to believe in.
​
So my question is:
​
Which would you find more scary, a universe without a god, or one ruled over by an all-powerful God?

Re: Flesh it out a bit?
I've edited the post to give a bit more meat to the question. Is that enough?
