Why did I (an atheist) legally change my name to "God"?
#1
Why did I (an atheist) legally change my name to "God"?
Why did I (an atheist) legally change my name to "God"? (First Name: "God", Last Name: "Bennett")

3 concise points why are found in the PDF document below:

i) Long ago, "asthma was considered a sacred disease" related to divine punishment. Instead, today using modern science/understanding, we know asthma is a respiratory illness.
  • Source: Any detailed timeline description of Asthma's History
ii) Likewise, I produced a 2016 paper/thought experiment that redefined the old God concept, to a modern one: Anything of human level intelligence or greater. 

Today there is no scientific evidence of any bible etc Gods/creators of our universe, but normal humans are actual candidates describable as Gods; we are using modern science to make software simulations of universes (eg Illustris), building artificial intelligence models plus we do many other cognitive tasks. 

Notably, human level artificial intelligence or greater also falls under the redefinition above.
  • Source by myself: "Research Gate/A scientific redefinition of God by an Atheist"
iii) So, I am human with somewhat average brain function, hence my new first name, "God". I think, objectively, "God" is a fitting name for any human without significant brain damage.
  • Relevant Source by myself: Objective human purpose: "Research Gate/Why is the purpose of human life to create Artificial General Intelligence?"
  • Relevant Source by myself: Quick thought on BibleGod vs Humans: "Research Gate/Animated Dirt; From Dirt to Artificial General Intelligence"

Elon Musk is a genius or "God" in tech. Majority of people aren't exceptional.

Thou art god, and all that groks is god.  Loved that book when I was 13.

Now this is bizarre. I was mildly surprised when Johan turned up from the past. He only just got the boot and PGJ turns up. Is this the season for it or something?
