I do.
Its called schizophrenia and most of us dont have it.
The bible tells us. With one lump of clay, God makes a grand pot. With the other, an ashtray.
Does the ashtray, which otherwise never would have come into existence in the first place, have reason to whine and complain?
And, if the Maker does one thing with one lump of clay and another thing with another, is the Maker to be made to feel guilty?
No. It's all for His divine pleasure.
Isn't our Father awesome?
Can I get an AMEN, brother?!

Okay, have we then established in both our minds that there is one universe?

No. God is a unity with each person having equal privileges and liabilities
as the unity of God.
God is indistinguishable from non-existence and thus doesn't exist.
It is meaningless to talk about the properties of something that doesn't exist.
