God as a Meme
Even though this is being added a week late,

I think it is always interesting when courses interact with each other, and English has an interesting contribution to the concept of God as a meme. In my third year, we learned about William Blake, who has a fascinating belief that God exists only in the human imagination. Now this connects to God as a meme in the sense that although the origin is unknown, we share an idea that we either agree or disagree with and feel connected in sharing the same views. For Blake, God has no origin, he cannot exist as his own entity, he becomes real and exists only when we, as humans perceive him to be real. God as a meme is especially potent because of the prolific reproductions and persistence over time.
