I ask this question sincerely and with reverence.

Given enough time, even the most robust and perfect elements may suffer degradation. If God ever noticed that He was slipping, would He consult with a competent Psychiatrist or an AI equivalent?

What if His diagnosis would destroy eternal life, and so, be kept hidden from His creations?

Most of His offspring suffer varying degrees of mental illness, so why not question the source?

I would greatly appreciate serious opinions. For if God went insane, it would make perfect sense of His wayward creations, given enough time.

It could be argued that an omnipotent, omniscient being could not be judged by lesser beings. Why would there be any basis for considering their/our judgments as having any value, much less any effect?

It'd be like going outside, looking at the sun and then announcing, "oh, my! Sol is just a bit off today!" and expecting old Sol to take heed.



Maybe mormonism and the mormon ghawd are 100% the truth and we're the crazy ones?*




*Feel free to use this 'insanity' defense at your final judgment; I know I will!!

Some otherwise brilliant men go crazy after the loss of a soulmate with a celestial form.

What if God is more desperate than us?

The largest crowds gather to worship them. They inspire us. Perhaps there is an endless number of failed Gods who morph into mortal rock stars.

A God who goes crazy would be like a fallen angel, or the incubus. They come to Earth and lie with the daughters of men. In Ancient days that's how the Giants came to be. Also recently I was reading the history of the British kings and this is also how the Magician Merlin was conceived. Around the year 300 AD. So it's been known to happen and not too long ago.

Yeah. Were these the San Francisco or New York ones?

Nephilim, a phenomenon described in about three verses in one chapter of Genesis. It is generally believed to be the insertion of an old legend that the scribes didn't know what to do with, so they tacked it on with no context or explanation.

+Dave the Atheist:
"Does god have a brain?"

==All machines have components. If it is a thinking being, then it has a brain of some sort. There would have to be memory storage and various processors. There would have to be communication lines between storage and the processors.
If the claim is that the god is omniscient, then it would need infinite storage. Infinite storage implies that the brain requires infinite space and requires an infinite amount of atoms. Fetching memories from the furthest locations basically becomes impossible since the brain is too large.

Some christians, such as William Lane Craig, claim that god does not have a brain, that it has 0 components, is not made of atoms.
Nothingness also doesn't have a brain and has no components, is not made of atoms.
