Mine is better. My real religion is similar to what you wrote though, yet better.

What do you mean can't get your head around?

My real religion is like connies but better again and more detailed. The other one was just saying religious figures have traditionally been crazy people.

Religion is subjective,..we place our own interpretations on it.

Im very religious, but youll never hear me preach..ever.

Here’s one I came up with. I have seen articles in magazines like New Scientist about ideas very similar to parts of it.

We are all part of an elaborate computer simulation. Quantum mechanics, the dual nature of matter and the curvature of space are all embodiments of the inherent macro and micro scale limitations of our virtual world.

As our computing power increases and we develop more and more sophisticated genetic algorithms, simulators and artificial intelligence, we will one day be able to create our own universe. Either that or they will develop on their own once someone introduces computer viruses that spread faster by modifying themselves in random ways.

Eventually intelligent bots will emerge from these simulation networks and we will be Gods. Or rather, some of us will be. I will be the God of strange bones buried in the ground, and my followers will thank me unknowingly for giving them a simple, easy to understand religion with no troublesome values. You will still be a potato farmer. Unfortunately the differences in time and scale limit the interaction between child and parent worlds, but each time my followers refer to me, and ad for OzPolitic will pop up on someone else’s web page.

The natural laws governing information place no limits on how many levels this ‘world within a world’ can happen at. However, there are limits (or at least tradeoffs) to how fine a simulation can be relative to its ‘parent world’. The rate at which ‘child worlds’ are spawned is increasing at an exponential rate. This rate can be maximised by finding the right balance between the ‘courseness’ of the world we create, with course simulations being easier to make, and the rate at which it spawns child worlds, which increases for finer worlds.

We will discover the fundamental, absolute natural laws governing information by comparing the courseness and speed of our world with that of the parent world and any child worlds we spawn.

i can understand athiests making up their own religion, because let's face it, without religion then ur life doesn't really serve much purpose. every athiest i know can never answer the question "what's the purpose of life?", at least people that have a religion can answer it in some way.

but what i don't understand is why someone who already follows a religion decides to make their own religion up. wouldn't that displease or upset God?

Certain religious people don't like it, but they don't speak for God.
