Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't see how a proof that "God exists" necessarily also implies "God is benevolent,"
Well, you need to define your god. And the god that's being described on the billboards as I pass church -- I think he's being described as a loving enough god that if you're getting rigourous about it, you need to cover all the bases, and it had better be effable.
I mean, there are a lot of things I don't think God implies, including Creator.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
amych rocks in such a rockin' way as to make Gibraltar look jello-esque. Just for the record.
Now this is where Calvinism has got your back.
Yeah, but he also got my historical theological BF Michael Servetus burned at the stake, so I have trouble warming to him.

Well, if He's not the Creator, he's one heck of an opportunist, showing up in a running system and saying "Right ho, I'll take over now."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ooh, I feel all... granite-y.

You're being Judeo Christian. I'm not. I don't think Brenda is either.
Also, didn't you think the Ori were okay doing just that?

I'm pretty sure Brenda isn't.
So does your hypothetical Creator show up as a part of the universe, neither creating nor created? (Note that I think Cronus, for instance, is a creator.)

God could be a part of the Universe instead of the creator of the Universe. This would get around some problems with general relativity and stuff.
