^ Precisely correct.
The craziest religion is the one that separates the self from God.
Duality gives rise to many "crazy" ideas.

There is a "God"?
Please prove that!
I'm saying that YOU are God, buddy. There are a few ways to prove that, but they are all subjective. You can kill yourself (least recommended method), meditate until you reach nondual awareness, or smoke 50+mg of DMT. Either method can be used to raise the frequency of your consciousness to the point where there is no separation between (the forms you had identified as) the self and the "other". Good luck!
Christianity and Islam, these people actually believe there's an invisible man up in the sky watching us!

how is that more crazy than believing that humans are the most advanced lifeforms we know of? And they just appeared by a random process?
In my opinion it's much more plausible to believe the universe was created by a much more advanced being that is possibly outside of our 4 dimensions, which would equate to a god in all possible senses of the meaning god. Since he's outside of the dimension of time itself (and possibly created the very concept of time in the first place) it would not create a paradox of 'well how did god suddenly appear?'. God just always was, then he created all the concepts of 'speed of light', 'time', 'space', 'physics', and what not. He kind of created his own programming language so to speak, and within that language he wrote the universe into being. All the rules of physics (such as F=m*a and E=mc^2) are just part of the code, and every object is just an object written using the code.
I don't think that's too weird to believe, considering the alternatives.
I believe you are very close with that thinking! I'd say God is best defined as "all that is", the 10th dimension, the Omniverse. If we view time as a way to account for change in the dimension below, rather than as an intrinsic quality of reality (as in M theory), then it's possible to view spacetime as existing simultaneously; i.e. only the present moment actually exists. So, from our limited perspective, we experience time as if a temporal (non-spatial) dimension, but were we Flatlanders (2-dimensional beings), the 3rd dimension would be our "time".
If this is what time is, then it's an easy leap to consider the idea that everything is the same one thing. Everything exists within the one being, God, Creation, which is experiencing itself in all the ways that it can. You are existence experiencing itself subjectively from a certain perspective. Or, as Alan Watts put it, you are God playing hide and seek with yourself.
Does this make sense?
somewhat, it's an interesting theory, but i doubt many will agree with you.
Some simply don't want to believe (too different from their current beliefs, don't feel comfortable with it)
Some simply don't understand.
I think your theory makes sense, but i'm not sure if it's correct, it probably is at least close to the truth, and it's well thought out. I like people who at least try to make sense of the universe rather than to just accept whatever their teachers tell them. It's a very important subject to know where we came from and where we stand, yet most people ridicule you when you bring up the subject. Possibly because the consequences of them being wrong on their beliefs might mean they have to radically alter their lifestyle and way of thinking and it will bring them out of their comfort zone.
