I, for sure, don't believe in God and think that religion is often dangerous for teaching us that non-understanding is a plus, the Church works in a mafia-model by combusting our fears... - butAfter reading The Wisdom of Crowds, I started revisiting the whole idea, from the standpoint of how-brains-interconnect: the God being an imaginary point where you instruct you brain to connect to and believe unconditionally everything the point propagates to you, that being actually a compiled opinion from the child nodes.
Voila.
That makes, or could make, our entire brain acting as one cell, allowing us to create super brain by connecting all child nodes (believers, in God's case) to super-hub, "the God" itself.
Q: Does the God exist?
A: Yes, as long as there are at least two people believing in it!
The Bible is written in a very clever way: If you understand it's a bullshit, you are ready to move onto next level. No need for anybody to evaluate your brain's readiness.
God is just one model suitable to be instructed to our brain. There are various other models: Sport teams, nationalities, labeled groups. Also Digg, Myspace. Basically, anything you can make yourself feeling "connected to".
my thinking process is still evolving but this CNN article may be of interest.
