Why Not?

Intro to Religion For the Hell of It by the revered Robert Anton Wilson.

“Have you ever considered the possibility that God might be a crazy woman? Or that John Dillinger died for you? Do you think there might be a secret technique by which the Enlightened can literally get Something for Nothing? Could the Martians have the true religion while Earthians are lost in superstitious darkness? Can a cup of coffee be a sacrament, and if not, why not? Does the mathematics of six-dimensional space-time and philosophy of Multi-Ego Pantheistic Solipsism explain the universe?”

I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who ponders these things.

Seriously, huh? I like the idea of coffee being a sacrament

I'm a fan of this way of thinking. My beliefs state that the universe is held together and ruled by a common belief shared by those that know no better.

Using that way of thinking, the earth was flat until we stopped believing it. The sun revolved around the earth. Gravity is only a figment of our beliefs.

As such it's possible for someone with enough self belief to over-ride everyone else's beliefs and break one of these rules simply by riding their self doubt and having an extreme sense of self-belief.

Well seriously is a complex word, although I did write a story in which the protaginist dies (doesn't realize he is dead until the end) and winds up in heaven only to find out Mary Shelly is God. Of course that was a work of fiction, but reality is even more complex than seriously, seriously it is, so if enough people were to beleive Mary Shelly was God . . . who knows.
