For example, that post I did about a god who creates the universe but dies in the process. It doesnt even have to be a god. It could be a mortal scientist in a parallel universe who invented our Cosmos. Therefore our Cosmos was "created", but not by a god. A truely godless creation...the mortal scientist eventually dies of old age and leaves the "watch" over the experiment to his corporation, or his sons and daughters who are very technically advanced.
Of course, I dont believe a single word of what I am saying. As far as "hair standing up on the neck" factor, it does go pretty high with me. Smoke a jay and sometimes thoughts like that go randomly through my head. I dont fight them, I let them flow. To me it is inspirational and creative juices. Who knows what kind of music I will write, or maybe one day I will write a fictional story on some of the cool things I allowed to flow when I was faded. there is nothing wrong in THINKING about stuff like this, or even talking about it..but actually believing that it is MORE than fiction is not a smart move in my opinion...and I know that isnt what you were suggesting. I geared that statement to the religious folks.
That's cool ... like you, I don't believe a single word I'm saying about many theories myself. I just like to entertain fun ideas in my head. And besides, your idea of a mortal creating the universe in an alternate universe is no more implausable than any of the other ridiculous religion. Christianity is chalked full of the craziest shit I've ever heard. Look at Hinduism and Scientology. I mean, that shit is OUT THERE ... metaphorically.
Even a deist like myself, thinks its very plausible that even if there is a God, I may very well never get to meet him. Maybe thats what appeals to me the most about Deism, is the fact that I can have a God that has no parameters or restrictions. He could be literally anything and that's what makes it so fun. Plus it's impossible to offend me because of this.
