I don't think most Theologies would accept that God is the brain, as human brains only have conscious control a small part of what our bodies do.

 God is like Krang and all is good in the world.

I too am interested in the pre-simplified version of this. I don’t think it can be any older religion such as the Abrahamitics or Buddhism, since the didn’t know what the brain did back during the makings of their theological foundations.

So, does this mean that when I drink beer it is God who gets drunk?

I don't understand the premise here.  What do you mean by "the" brain? Do you mean a particular brain? Do you mean that everyone's brains are effectively gods?

This seems like an ill-defined premise.

Hangovers are God's punishment.  God is your liver.

Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

Yes. This is a confusing thread. What does it even mean...?

On mobile your signature didn't have the line separating it from the rest of the post.

God is clearly a shoe. Or a pair of shoes.

God is CLEARLY the RIGHT SHOE.  All who disagree must be burned at the stake, ESPECIALLY those filthy Left Shoe God worshipers!
