A new religion?
I developed a theological/philosophical view and I'm curious if this has been proposed before. I call it \*\*Metaism\*\*.
Core claim:
\- Yes, God created the universe
\- But infinite power is impossible
\- God expended ALL energy/power to create the universe
\- God effectively "died" or ceased to exist in the process
\- The universe now runs without its creator (laws of nature are intrinsic, evolution proceeds naturally)
\*\*How Metaism differs:\*\*
\- From Deism: God didn't just withdraw — God is completely gone
\- From Atheism: There WAS a creator at the origin, just not anymore
\- From Pandeism: God didn't become the universe, God was consumed BY creation
The name comes from "meta" (Greek: change, beyond, after) — God exists "before/above," then transformation occurs, now we're "after."
What are your thoughts? Does this align with any existing theological positions I'm unaware of? Or is this as novel as it feels to me?
Edit: Some asked for clarification — by "died" I mean total energy expenditure, not a biological death. Like a star collapsing after burning all its fuel. The universe is the result, not God's "body."
