That is also what my creations call me.You see, not unlike many other humans, I have the ability to designate portions of my consciousness to create unique personalities. I can also designate portions of my consciousness to create a world for these personalities to inhabit. I then write about the exploits of those personalities in the world I have made for them so that other people can designate portions of their consciousness for those same personalities and world I created to enjoy the resulting story.In short, I am an author, and I find it amusing how I can be a mere human and yet have power over matter, space, time, life, and death within a cognitive world of my creation. If religious apologists were characters in my book, I would be more than capable of passing all of their criteria for an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent God. They would be so sure of themselves and yet here I am, a human not unlike them.In 2013 I was a fundamentalist christian on a mission to help atheists reconcile their relationship with God. In my efforts, it quickly became clear that I wasn't going to get anywhere with my mission if I didn't put in some serious effort to understand why atheists didn't believe in God. I had to do more than understand through my worldview, I needed to understand why they didn't believe through their worldview.So I set out to understand as best as I could. Going so far as to, having faith in God that I would ultimately fail, develop my own reasons not to believe.As it would happen, the arguments I came up with made me realize that I had no business being so certain of my ability, nor any other human's ability, to identify a being, spirit, or text as being God, or being from God, or being of God, or being inspired by God.view less
