This is fantastic, I've never seen this response to that question.

My personal faith involves Alan Watts’ thought experiment on God.

God made heaven, had everything, and it got boring. So God made a new adventure where god is challenged, but they always succeed. But this too became boring.

So God, with infinite power, imagined a world where they forgot they were god. They didn’t know what would happen next.

And that is the adventure you and I live in now. Eventually, we’ll get back to heaven / nirvana / reconciliation with God, and then go on another adventure.
