Hey, how's this for a new take on God?

I was just listening to a clip of Opie and Anthony, and had an epiphany regarding God: I think He is a radio personality for a bunch of unknown cosmic entities, and that he pulls all sorts of pranks and practical jokes on all of us in order to make those entities laugh.

Stuff like, "Ok, now I've got this guy convinced that if he blows himself up he's going to get 72 virgins. I can't believe this moron fell for it! ...Oh boy...he's actually strapping that bomb to his body. This idiot knows he's going to be blown to bits and he's doing it anyways! ...Oh, there he goes.... *BOOM!* AH HAHAHAHAH! What an idiot! HAHAHA.... *etc.*

So what does everyone think? Plausible? Could we be the butt of some inter-stellar radio talk show? In my eyes, it's the best way I can think of to explain why our world is so messed up....

Atheists need not respond, even though I'm sure you all will anyways....

    Our species, maybe even as much as our universe created for a greater being's amusement? It's plausible, but I think we can discount or at least ignore this hypothesis on the grounds that there would be no clear solution to the problem...

    Musing about these things is pointless. Religion is based solely on what you believe. If you think that's how god works, GO FOR IT. Who's to tell you otherwise?

    Dude..this could possibly be the beginning of a new religion in of itself...

    Brilliant.

    This is sort of a modern take on Mormonism, isn't it?
