Talk:Vicarious autotheism

This article is just crap. Even if I was an atheist I'd think it was crap. It presents zero evidence that any theist actually thinks this way. Studies? 12:00, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems to be the same as self projection as god. I suggest redirecting to that.  12:39, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. 04:41, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that this is different from "self-projection as god" altogether; while "self-projection as god" seems to describe the process by which people create deities that look and act and think like them, "vicarious autotheism" seems to describe people who deify themselves and get too big for their boots. 04:45, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Who starts out by deifying themselves? Thelemites, Laveyan Satanists, maybe some New Age types. And yet the article didn't seem to be referring to them at all ("the mindset of people who support particular social rules with the claim that said rules are the will of the [non-existent] god") - it seems to primarily be referring to conservative Christians. In which case, the article is really making the same fundamental claim as self projection as god 04:50, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
