So, let's just say that there's this Godlike figure? Why would it care about us?

For argument's sake, let's say that there's this cosmic consciousness, or a supreme overmind beyond space and time. We're talking about a monumental and vast mind here. Why would it care about us? It would seem to be a cold, calculating being that would care little or nothing about the thoughts, actions, and sufferings of these little tiny beings in one of it's little universes. I read this page called the "physics of survival", where a physicist tries to make a case for the quantum field of our consciousnesses going on after our bodies die in some other dimension. Well, even if that were true, why would this godlike mind judge us? We never get judged by god while we're living. I can go pull off a bank job at Third Federal, and if the cops don't catch me, there's no punishment. God doesn't step in and do something, so if consciousness continues after we die, why would god step in then. Why would that next state of existence have anything to do with what we did here.
