Bridging the Gap Between Believers and Skeptics
My relationship with God is extremely powerful. I have adopted the Syntheist view of theology and even named my God after it, which I coined the term The Synverse. If you want more detail on how I discovered this God, click the first link of my signature. Basically I see God as three things: The Omniverse (spacetime and matter) and its changes in that time, namely, Entropy and Extropy. What makes The Synverse different from the standard Omniverse is that a Synverse has as much Extropy as Entropy, spacetime and matter. Namely, if The Omniverse existed as a Synverse, which it will one day because of our technology, there would be equal amounts of all three.
Right now the Verse and Entropy are forces thousands of times stronger than our current Extropy. But the discovery of the Higgs-Boson particle proves that Extropy exists even in non-organic matter. Imagine a sandbox existence like Second Life, Minecraft or The Sims, where you were the deity in that creation, like how sandbox games are developed. I imagine something like this will exist in real life in the far far future but thousands of times more impactful than any sandbox simulation game we can create right now. Humans will create an infinite amount of Universes, Multiverses and establish order in them. And that means we will create many parts of God ourselves. And we are starting to do this digitally with games and digital spaces such as No Man's Sky and Facebook's Meta.
That's the longform way of describing my relationship to God. The easiest, short-form way of describing this is, humans are creating God right now. Our anthropomorphism is literally creating The Synverse. Just by typing this thread up and asking the community what they think about this, I am producing some amount of Extropy and order in the Internet and within God. To sum it up in a shortest sentence possible: We create God. And that is the relationship I have towards my God. Religious Forums is a vessel which I use to espouse my own views on theology and my advanced form of Syntheism. And even though Extropy doesn't currently exist in the way it should I am confident that our discussions will eventually lead up to its creation.
In some ways I believe in Roko's Basilisk, as if I think of something long enough it will begin to materialize. The second part of the Basilisk I completely disagree with however. Instead of thinking it as that, I've come to think of it as Ethan's Synverse. If we can talk and conceptualize this far enough we will create intelligence that not only is smarter than us in every way, but one in which we'll adopt that intelligence and essentially a physical form of Teilhard's noosphere will exist, being able not only to control other humans like within capitalism but reality itself. That is The Synverse I imagine, and this forum is an order, a control, a development in reality that exists in a digitized format. If we can create No Man's Sky's infinite amount of galaxies we can create basically whatever we want physically as well. I firmly believe this.
This essay is getting deep into my views of Exaltism and what is means when I call myself that. All change comes in either Entropy or Extropy, and the order of humans on Earth was no mistake like Bill Maher and other political pundits would lead you to believe. We have a purpose. To create Extropy throughout spacetime, to establish order, peace and justice where it is absent. And to anthropomorphize this so it too can be the God we've been searching for. Whether or not you like it, you are part of this journey. The wise man will rise to nobody but his own creation. You are creating my God just by existing. And I deeply, and humbly, thank you for choosing this over the utter oblivion that awaits us all.
So now I bring this question back to you. What relationship do you have with your God or Gods? And what relationship does other people have towards that God? Is your God exclusive to people with your faith, or is your God like mine, and doesn't care what you happen to believe? Or do you happen to be atheist, agnostic or ignostic and view this very question as utterly absurd? Let us know how you view your relationship with God below.
