As a least convenient world exercise, what is the most rational belief in God that you can think of?
Most reasonable theisms:
The “we are in a simulation” argument.
The “we are God’s entertainment” religion.
Most reasonable religious views:
Believing in absolute morality, without adequate justification; possibly as a pragmatic matter.
At the other extreme, being purely hedonic (we could call this Dionysianism, but the spelling is horrific).
Believing a priori that rationalism is necessarily always the winning strategy.
Add to the list:
Deism (God made the universe and abandoned it)
Lovecraft Was Right
I’d personally like to clarify as:
Deism (prior to Darwin)
I’d also add:
A god that is not a god (a non-omniscient, non-omnipotent being that otherwise seems god-like)
The gods of the residents of Greyhawk, if you want the absolute least convenient world
