So I'm basically an agnostic leaning towards atheism. I can't imagine Christianity could be true, similar religions like Buddhism, or basically any philosophy that involves being more "civilized" than "barbarian", or to say it another way: "human" vs. "animal". I'm an animal, and I will live as one, with animal goals.

However, it's difficult to communicate what I believe to others. It might be easier to invent a god, because people would probably have an easier time considering a personality than a list of propositions.

I think of this god as a sort of personification of evolutionary strategies I believe in. It is not a creator god, and it is not the only possible god. It just is the god that seems best to me.

I could even see rituals and sacrifices, prayers, etc, to psychologically reinforce the personality of the god and also to affirm commitment to the chosen strategy. Believers would not believe in some kind of supernatural intervention but rather an idea that "sometimes following the strategy works in ways we can't foresee or imagine".

This religion would essentially be imaginative participation in poetic thinking, and might be more appealing than cold rationality.

I'd also say the only likely immortality is passing on genes.

This could be read as a parody of all primitive religions but I'm actually serious. I think imagination is something like an intelligence, one that follows unconscious presuppositions. sometimes, things don't "feel right", even if you can't say why.

Feel free to laugh. But, why not?
