Imagine you brought up a baby in one room, and told it that that whole room was the universe. And that you were god.

Isn't this room the whole universe? Isn't that guy over there God? Why is God snickering at me?

Don't let our other thread spoil this one! I'm not funny, okay! But I though if I practiced making jokes on the computer screen that I would get better at it in real life.

Not that this thread is so great that it shouldn't profanized.

I think you'd end up raising one hell of a screwed up kid.

Isn't this the basic tenant of Gnosticism?

thats pretty much how everyone lives their lives. we all hide behind our perception's of the universe, but eventually human curiosity would kick in and it would begin to ask questions. Much in the same way science broke away from religion, ironically it's birth mother.

What could you possibly be basing that on? That would have to mean that babies have a preconcived notion of religion at birth.

Not God in thesense of religion. God in thesense of the most powerful being in existence
