Which would you find more scary, a universe without a god, or one ruled over by an all-powerful God?
I do not know what there would be to fear amongst either scenario. If we are lost in a universe without aim and purpose the best you can do is enjoy the ride hopefully along with others but enjoy it nonetheless.
If we are ruled by an all powerful god then it seems a futile waste of time time rail against the landlord as long as we are in the building eh?

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
