RE: Thought of the Day #5: What If "God" Was A Self Delusion?
I don't think anyone should claim absolute truth. Even atheists like myself don't, so you don't have to worry about anyone taking your words to the letter.
If God is that omnipotent and powerful, and he doesn't even realise it, then what would be the point of worship? You raise an interesting question. That would honestly destroy all Abrahamic religions in one swoop, but if the Abrahamic god does exist, then he's most likely not omnipotent, and just a little powerful.
Erich von Däniken is actually someone who believe in "God" but he is also someone who think most of the religious texts are actually describing Ancient Aliens. He has made many errors and exaggerations. But he also make many great points too. We can replicate miracles using technology and and speculative fiction covers a great deal of content that could be considered miracles.
Personally I don't believe in an omnipotent creator. But someone could claim that an Anti-spiral like being (it was a collective consciousness if I remember correctly) exist and I wouldn't object to that.
