Default I have a **NEW** god to worship!

My god is THE only god in the universe. It has created the earth and the heavens and all life.

He is out working on other projects, and has not been here for about 4 billion years. I'ts objective was to set in motion competing life forms so that there is equal chance for all to survive.

If his program works well, it will give rise to a lifeform that is able to crack the program that god wrote for all life. This new lifeform will also be able to figure out how everything works and see God more clearly and his works through science.

In return, god has created a beautiful planet with an abundance of energy and resources. There is no reason to be sad on this planet, everything has been provided for. There are rules on this planet, but they are easy to follow in order to survive.

Now, god's life program has some correction software in order for it to not go out of control. He is busy working on other projects, so he needs the program to 'maintain' itself. If a form of life grows too quickly or lacks the tools for is environment, then it is terminated. Lack of food, water or energy will cause termination. This is a brilliant plan god has created. It works to benefit all the life forms who maintain a 'balance' on this beautiful planet he has given us.

If the life forms do not progress enough, then they may get stuck in a form that is intelligent, but deadly to itsself. This is ok, because god's program is written for things like this. If such life form believes that god is still here and talking to them, then they may think that they are better than the life forms that do not believe the same. This will cause self termination for all life forms that share these false beliefs. This is perfectly fine as god's program was written so that these life forms will terminate themselves.

This new god has taught us self-reliance, self-esteem, higher reasoning, science, and compassion for other life forms.

Our only instruction: Mate, have offspring and push your 'program' into the next generation.

This god does not have a torture chamber nor did he put a curse on all humanity. He is a JUST and MORAL god.

He never plays 'games' with the life forms or threatens them. He does not care if they believe in him or any of that psychopathic crap......

And further, this "God" does not have any silly qualities like anthromorphism or omnibenevolence. In fact, this "God" is not a God at all, but simply a characterization of natural law.

Please, stop confusing evolution and religion.

Ha ha ha, you guys are funny...

I'm being serious. If there was any proof of god, it would be this story I just told.

I'm writing a NEW bible that will be full of TRUTH. (smile)

I need some help though, I need everyone to make up a part of this god that would be good for everyone. A god that everyone would want to follow.....

(it's a game, so get into it)
