Creative God Theory

“No, what I’m getting at is what makes God, God.”

Curtis sat silent for a moment.

“What?”

“God. What makes God, God.”

“I figured being God was always the sole criteria”

“But is it? Is it really that circular? What makes him God? Was he chosen? Elected? Did he will himself into being like some old legends say? If so, where did he will himself from? To will yourself into being would imply a pre-existing cognizance, right?”

“Yeah.. I guess….”

“And from there, we assume God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent”

“That’s the general western consensus I think”

“But what do we have to base any of this on? What impirical evidence has ever been gathered? A couple of second hand accounts of supposed eye witnessed events? God communicating through burning bushes and pillars of fire. Why the smoke and mirrors? Is God actually able to exist in this world? Or is he made of fire?”

“Alright, I don’t know much about theology, but I don’t think that God is made of fire”

“Alright, maybe not. But then what of? Has it been the same God all this time, or has the title changed hands? If so, what causes the change? Is God a life time appointment or honor? Where does God really exist?”

“Alright, where is this going?”

“I hypothesize that what makes the entity we refer to God is the creative ability. We are all here as a result of some beings creative imagination.”

“I guess that’s one way to look at it…”

“There are many ways to look at. That is my point. There are many realities, many views on the same reality. Perhaps reality is different to every individual.”

“You been reading Descartes again?”

“No. I’m not stopping there anyways. What I am getting at is what seperates us from God?”

“Infinite power?”

“But how do we know that?”

“Huh?”

“Exactly. We don’t. We believe because of a lack of options and no evidence to go on. But what if we created a world from our imagination that we could never actually go to, but could interact with through writing new parts to the story, or making up new characters? Then what would the denizens of that reality have to gage us by?”

“They would have to surmise about us through-“

“Experiencing what we create.”

“Alright, you’re starting to make my head hurt”
