God(!!!)

A man, too long in his own head, will begin to think himself God. Too long in the heads of others, however, and the same man will come to think of God as another person(like Steve, but way better at, like, Everything).

What of the one who spends all his time in the heads of tigers and antelope? Or someone who spends all his thoughts on plants? Do we then think our gods Tigers and Antelope, start calling the dirt our Mother?

Absurdity test: What of someone who spends all their time designing boxes, or shoes, or training horses? Lacking a normalizing community of skeptics, do these people conceive of Universal Boxes, ineffable Tread Designs, & holy Horseshoes?

I think so. I think God is how we frame everything we know but can't remember just now; the great body of knowledge which we cannot comprehend all once, which we only know by instinct, and even then only if we have the faith to trust in it.

This sounds like an explanation for the experience of God to people for whom He does not exist; if that's all that can be taken away from this, so be it. Except people are made up too; the person you think you are is quite as fictional as the diety you use to think. And to Us, stories about storytellers, God is our connection to our greater existence, the greater Truth which we cannot comprehend but which supports us. If we trust in it.

See, if we can think of God like a thought-structure, analogous to a workout plan or a memory-peg, then we can start designing our gods consciously, making dieties which serve our purposes.
