Setting side the existence question, let's presume some entity we would reasonably label as "God" exists in some fashion. I'd also give the attributes of being a Universal Intellect and Prime Mover, so God holds concepts (such as mathematical Universals) as mental objects within Its thoughts and sustains/directs causation in Creation.
What can we expect out of this entity? I was pondering this and it seems to me that at the least we could say that God would want to observe a reality that unfolds from Its perspective as a narrative that seems worth viewing/reading/hearing/whatever-sensory-attribute-works-forGod. I figure this would be the case because God would know of our possible actions and possible experiential responses, so what would be left but to see what we might choose as characters presumed to possess freedom of choice?
Thus it seems that even if God is not Good, we could at least trust God to create a reality that would not make our actions worthless in a narrative sense.
Naturally this isn't meant to be some hard philosophical argument, just more musing about what we might expect from a Creator of Everything.
