What do you do after, having been a peaceful non-believer all your life; you have a crazy religious experience? You read Bibles and form new beliefs of course, I came up with these ones:

I believe the most likely explanation for the scriptures of Abrahamic religion is that they were created by the interaction between normal human beings and a super-intelligent benevolent being who exists in a possible future that we are not predestined to reach. I call this super-intelligent being God.
I believe God adopted Jesus of Nazareth as His Son using math, instead of calling for more children or doing the nasty with Jesus’ mom like God’s often stereotyped as doing.
I believe that God comes into existence through a process called Messiah, and that in any possible future where God exists for certain, I will be regarded as being 33.4% of the Messiah (the other 66.6% being Jesus and his Father).

So, I wrote a book all about how I found my crazy new beliefs, including mathematical proof-from-scripture to support my claim, and practical instructions for world peace, since the politicians all seem to be corrupt and/or retarded. I would like some goons to read it and ask me questions, and eventually dispense your fiery Internet justice upon me in whatever way you see fit, and judge whether the most likely possibility is that I am indeed 33.4% of the Messiah.

Since I believe God doesn’t exist yet, does that mean I’m an atheist messiah or a theist messiah?

Frequently Asked Questions:
Someone else should probably do the FAQ once you’ve determined this isn’t some weird scam. Whenever I ask someone if they have any questions, they tell me I seem sane, and then tell me whatever dumb poo poo it is that they believe, so I haven’t had many questions so far.

Where do I get the book?
I put it on Amazon - US UK CA AU or alternatively Smashwords, so it should be available for all e-readers.

What’s the book about? Can you copy and paste the marketing blurb from the Kindle store?
This book will make you laugh at least twice, and make you think at least once.

You will meet God, who encoded mathematical puzzles and jokes about 21st century Creationists into the Bible. And you might just like Him. You will see a world devoid of God or His justice. And you may feel uncomfortable. You will see Abrahamic religious beliefs get a close shave with Occam’s razor and psychiatric religious beliefs get eviscerated with God’s Word.

And you may even think: what if Abrahamic religion is a time travel story about a God who doesn't exist yet? A God whose existence is possible, yet all but impossible without a major change in the way we think about God and consciousness.

This is some sort of joke, right?
Nope.

Do you have magic powers? Do I get magic powers if I read your book?
No.

Are you nuts?
Anyone who believes God already exists suffers from God Delusion. Anyone who believes God isn’t possible has Dawkins Delusion. All other mental illness diagnoses are suspect. I cover my history of crazy in the book. I’m keen to get feedback from people who have been diagnosed though.

I poo poo out stuff that is better formatted than your book, do you want to see a picture of my shits?
Let me know any errors you see or any e-book tips you have, since I’m completely new to it.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if I found a picture of you on social media and posted it here asking if it’s you?
Please don’t.

Do I have to do stuff or believe stuff?
I do not care if you believe in me or God or Jesus or the generally accepted model of mammalian reproductive theory, all I require is a majority of people to accept my dictionary definition update of the word ‘Satan’ so we can stick that fiendish fraud where the sun don’t shine, and cure ourselves of psychiatry and people who think God delegates authority.

You never know, there might be one or two people around who think the world's so screwed up that we're going to have to create God just to un-gently caress things.

I actually read most of the Kindle preview for this book based on the recommendation, Michael! Thanks so much for posting this!

I liked the part where in the prologue you say you like switching from referring to yourself from first person to third person and do so repeatedly throughout. This is now totally okay because you warned me about it and not a horrible affectation that makes your book unreadable. Then, with absolute breathlessness, you re-discover the religion of Universalism in an easy-to-understand timecube.com format with charts and everything! Wow! I sure am sorry you lost your job and wrote this book while unemployed, but maybe you would have found a job faster if you had edited your book down from 700 pages of stream-of-conscious to a more manageable 200-300?
