Existence is futile .

Why does every idea concerning possible gods seem to imply both their interest in us and the existence of an afterlife? Lovecraft's misotheism seems to be the only exception.

Because if the God is a creator-god, then they created the world for a reason, and it follows that Xe is probably paying attention to how everything turns out. This does imply a fairly anthropomorphic divine mindset.

I like to think any potential deity out there would be able to understand a human’s reasoning for worshipping the wrong/no god, and would be able to see past that to a person’s intrinsic “goodness” and judge them accordingly.

So you're taking the Aslan/Tash approach?

I bake cakes for a reason, and that reason is the not the mould that always turns up.

I like to eat cake mix.

Not so good in large amounts, my bowels will tell you.

Does it give you...irritable bowels?

It makes His Bowels Hurt.

Existance = Bowels + irritation

Cake mix is a portal to OANST's existence.

That's because you're not an interventionist baker. If you were, the mould wouldn't have had a chance to take hold.
