If God was a theist, would God believe in God? The funny thing is, God is both a theist and an atheist, as God is all of us.

Hmm...I like that story.
Next time I pick on the Kardashians, I'll keep in mind there's a small chance they're a pebble on the road to perfection, rather than a boil on the butt of pop culture.
Nice.

have you seen a movie called Dogma?
Alanis Morissette plays God
(hope that doesn't spoil it for you)
God belongs to a whole community of beings so powerful
that we lesser critters see them as gods. But they see
no beings superior to themselves, thus they're atheists.
And some of them have the hobby of creating universes
to watch & care for. Of course, some of them are rather
lazy & inattentive stewards of their spawn.

Probably not.
Maybe. God doesn't have a god to pray to. Apparently, no god created God. Was God actually "God" in the beginning before He actually created anything? Would He be "God" before He created any beings to worship Him?

Have you see the movie 'O God', starring George burns as God.
In the film, God is called to be witness in a trial. When he takes the oath, He says:
"I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help Me Me'
(this won't spoil the film if you haven't seen it.)

As per Hinduism, God is pure consciousness. ( Prajnanam Brahman)
However, if God identifies Himself with a mental position such as atheism or theism, he would no longer be based in pure consciousness, but on the changeful mind created of thoughts and emotions, all which constitute impure consciousness due to its vacillating nature.
In such a scenario, God would not be in a position to note that He is God , but would identify Himself with something else.
If you keep disturbing your brain with that kind of question, no wonder you're still awake at 3 a.m.

nay.....
otherwise (or perhaps)....God is a stand up comedian
and we are the butt end of the joke.....
hmmmmmm
a laugh every minute
I'm shocked! Shocked you would find my usage of "God" lacking. And in a three in the morning thread posted in the jokes section, no less!

No I don't imagine he would.

I know right? I had to erase 3/4 of my reply. I was going to give an actual attempt at an answer.
Your lack of humor in this matter noted.

I don't want to speak for @shunyadragon, but based on things I've seen him post- I'd say he's a philosopher. Philosophers don't find funny what other people do. We sometimes find funny what other people don't.
(I just remembered you're a philosopher. How COULD YOU ask a question that merits a deep answer in the joke section? I'm just shocked
)
