The notion of a God that has created me is terrifying to me. It seems to imply that The Church did not just implant their exoself next to my self into the reality generated by my brain, but that this exoself replaced the native self of the host with a new self of its own creation
Yes, I thought so too, but now the idea of unifying creator and intentional-structure-I-am-serving appears to be an entirely deliberate plant with a clear functional purpose.

What's that purpose do you think? If you asked me, I'd probably say it's a virus-like replication strategy, for survival and dominance.

The synchronization of normative behavior via the implantation of religious cult software is the primary way in which our present civilization was built. It is really hard to say where we would be without it.

I need to do a lot of thinking about the "deliberate" part.
