Title: So if we don't like our old God(s), let's make a new God!
Post by: Givemeareason on April 20, 2015, 10:12:38 PM
Maybe it could do a better job of explaining things this time around.  I have heard it projected by futurists that computers will attain mind and consciousness by the year 2029.  So if that be the case, a computer could be constructed of unimaginable proportions.

"The computational theory of mind holds that the mind is a computation that arises from the brain acting as a computing machine. The theory can be elaborated in many ways, the most popular of which is that the brain is a computer and the mind is the result of the program that the brain runs.[3] A program is the finite description of an algorithm or effective procedure, which prescribes a deterministic sequence of discrete actions that produces outputs based only on inputs and the internal states (memory) of the computing machine."

Cthulhu's not a god, though, he just knows dark magic.

He's a priest.  Which, given how terrifying he is, raises lots of disturbing questions.

The Great Old Ones are considered deities.  At least, by people.  And sometimes, non-people.  Their power sets are certainly god-like, though eldritch abomination is a more accurate category.  Monstrous size, indestructibility, bizarre physiology, spaceflight, limited ability to affect the physical world and to be affected by it, combined with magic-like abilities (mental domination, insanity-inducement)

Personally, I'm going with Yog-Sothoth.
