Is god a tulpa?

[FreeWillinAndDillin]

I just though of a theory. Is god a tulpa? Are christians praying to something that doesn't exist(I'm not saying he doesn't, lets just assume that is true) so much that they have actually created a second subconscious in which they call god?? Discuss! Also please don't send me hate mail for crushing your beliefs; it's just a theory.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THIS THEORY HAS BEEN POSTED

 

IT'S EVEN IN THE NEW MEMBERS GUIDE WHERE I MENTION WHAT NOT TO POST

 

Yah...maybe overreacting. My point is that you are certainly not the first person to bring this up. Stanford even did research on this. I'll look for the link, hold on.

Well, i suppose he might be that to some.

If you spend too much time searching for something you will find it, one way or another. If he is real to you then it doesnt matter really.

I actually arrived at this possibility on my own as well, but the fact that it's been researched by a Stanford professor is phenomenal...

Yeah this has been mentioned so many times it's kind of ridiculous at this point.

That's not how belief in God works. At all.

 

 

This is actually pretty anti-meta.

If you are religious, (can't assume you would be insensitive if you were browsing this thread), please bide through the atheist interpretation on this.
