LOL...this, from the guy who calls himself a Christian, but can’t decide if God even exists. And if your version of god does exist, you posit that he/she/it would be an emergent property of an infinite multivierse!

I'm sorry, but you seem to have pretty much misunderstood some of my earlier postings.

What I posted, in effect, was this:

Observation: The finely-tuned nature of the universe is extraordinary, and could only be explained by one of two possibilities.

Either:

Explanation A: God created the universe.

Explanation B: There exist an infinite number of universes outside of our own.

If one starts from a position of reason, then those would seem to be the only two reasonable explanations for this phenomenon.

So either A or B has to be true.

If A is true, then: Voila. God exists.

If B on the other hand is true (note that I never stated that A was untrue, but IF B is true), then basically everything that can happen will happen, and, yes, this seems to me to imply that an all-knowing, all-powerful being will arise somewhere in the multiverse.

The point is: Essentially, if A, then A. If B, then also A.

It's true that a "B" A would not necessarily equal an "A" A. But the argument deals a blow to the notion that there is no God.

And in any event, what I do or don't believe about God still does not excuse your unGodly and unChristian behavior.

I just thought I would mention that, since you don't seem to have realized that from the Bible, a true Christian is admonished to do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
