The question isn't really about what could or could not be the case regarding life and divinity. The question is why? Why create all of this? Why experience it all? Why now, after countless years? Why did it happen at this point in time?

Could be as simple as "Fer teh lulz" 👀
There are no points in time. The past exists only in our imagination. The future is similar, but our imagination allows us to tilt the odds in one way or another. Not even the present exists, since it is definable only in terms of imaginary things.
Why is the same. It's imaginary. Even when we do things ourselves, we only invent a story to explain why, but in so doing, we avoid actually confronting the real reason. There was no reason. We're only telling stories, believing we're in control, but we're not - we're just explaining two points in our imagination.
For an infinite being, all reasons are the why's simultaneously, and all states exist simultaneously, and every possible thing is not only doable, but done, from the first nonexistent instant of possibility. What we're experiencing is a slice of that.
Or not. Idk.
I agree with all of this including the last line.
Me too. But also I don't.
Similarly, yes but often no.
This is a good story.
Even if all these things are true, I can only reason with the faculties that I have. And these “concepts” that you say don’t exist, are incredibly useful in the immediate world around me. If I’m expected to abandon these things, then what do I use?
