Well, I'm not sure how to tackle them. I mean, your point about computers, I disagree that a computer is inferior to a human mind. They're different, a human mind is much better at making associations between things, whereas a computer is infinitely better at storing information and making calculations. Also, why do you think humans necessarily have to be inferior to God? If humans have free will (although I disagree with that), and God can't interfere with free will, does he lack free will? I would say in a way that makes us better.
I have a question for you: Why not just accept god as the god of islam?
I kept thinking about god and I just reached the conclusion that God Is a concept not an entity, as in, he's not a person as much as he is something that is simply incomprehensible to a human mind, thus I think of him as a concept, not an entity.

@Gorefiend I don't see how you think that. They have the option of following his belief system or being banished to Hell... sure almost all who believe in that system follow it, but some don't, and that's much, much different from an inability to choose. Even though most people follow the path of least resistance, there are some who may be defiant and resist.
I mean, I don't believe in free will at all myself, but if you mean free will in the sense that you can choose what you want to do, and that God can't choose to prevent you from choosing, yes you have free will and he wouldn't.

I thought of something like that before - all existence is an advanced computer simulation, and computer that is running the simulation is essentially "God", it could change the variables in the simulation at will (omnipotent), it can access and knows of every single piece of its own code (omniscience), and it IS everything (omnipresence). I'd say its pretty fair to say it'd be pretty hard for a human mind to comprehend the processing power required to run the calculations for every single element of reality. Although IMO that opens up a pretty big can of worms (Like, why the simulation cares that we're aware of it, among other questions)

What you are saying is another way of trying to comprehend, I just say ok God is all powerful, all knowing and is everywhere, and god somehow managed to tell makes us know that, and nothing else, so just move on and focus on more important things; things you can comprehend.

I had an interesting idea that reconciles the fact that a God could exist possibly, with the fact that if he did exist, he hasn't had any influence on Earth at all in the slightest.
Here is my theory :
We all know well the idea that this God fella is infinitely power, and he knows everything, and sees everything. Consider this then - just because he knows everything doesn't mean he understands everything. Imagine a mind swarmed by information about every single atom in the universe every millisecond. He, like a little infant seeing its first rays of light, wouldn't know what all this stuff means since its all flooding into him at once, and it drives him insane. He has infinite power, but he doesn't understand how to use his powers, so they are useless to him. Ultimately, this madness makes him powerless.
Discuss. (also, I suppose it would probably make
this guy the Devil
)
That isn't a theory, because it's based on absolutely nothing. It's a proposal, like many other religious beliefs...

Would you prefer I change the title of the thread? I was using the word theory in the general definition, not the scientific definition, I am well aware of the difference between a hypothesis and a theory but I figure the word theory works for the average person in the place of the scientific definition of hypothesis.

The average person not knowing what
theory
means is what has caused so many to believe the misconception that creationism is a theory, and that therefore it should be legally required to be taught beside evolution.
So yes, Laihendi would appreciate it if you changed the title, to play your part in putting an end to this misconception.

I don't want to understand 4chan.
I could see a god that doesn't want to understand humans.

I believe this theory has been sprouted out before, and some believe in it. I find it hard to believe myself that a being who can create an entire universe would have trouble understanding it. I mean, I doubt he points his finger one way and *BAM!* and he goes, "Wtf? Gee, better make a son and get 'em killed for those people..."

If God is real, and crazy, I think he is suffering from Schizophrenia.
Look at Old Testament God who is "Go, kill EVERYTHING, every woman, child" etc.
New Testament, Jesus is like "O HAI GUISES DADDY SAID PLAY NICE!"
...It doesn't add up. I think God is an ideal being, that has had his characteristics changed to fit in with people's ideas.
And also, if God is the all-knowing creator of everything, why would he want one culture (Jews) of his creations to destroy another? (Amalekites for example) And then what would cause his sudden hippy-like nature as conveyed in the New Testament.

If Jesus was the son of god, there's always the possibility that he made him somehow to gather data about humans that he couldn't collect on his own. Then when he sacrificed himself, he beamed the information back up to his father.

Theory =/= Proposal.
