@Jotaf, "Order > chaos, no?"
Imagine God shows up tomorrow. "Everyone, hey, yeah. So I've got this other creation and they're super moral. Man, moral freaks, let me tell you. Make Mennonites look Shintoist. And, sure, I like them better than you. It's why I'm never around, sorry. Thing is, their planet is about to get eaten by a supernova. So.. I'm giving them the moral green light to invade Earth. It's been real."
I'd be the first to sign up for the resistance. Who cares about moral superiority? Are we more moral than a paperclip maximizer? Are human ideals 'better'? Who cares? I don't want an OfficeMax universe, so I'll take up arms against a paperclip maximizer, whether its blessed by God or not.
