sim theory

Have you considered the ramifications of comparing the divine system to a game of Sims? Anything strike you as concerning with that hypothetical?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The dude does not think in text but pictures. or though a literal process, and then has to convert to words. which can be hard to do for some especially if they have a ton of other things gong on.

That's an awfully long winded way to say that he's bad at words. Nevermind the sims stuff, this is far more interesting. Why is it that the president can't misspeak? He bumblefucks some word out of his obviously malfunctioning shit hole...and a certain subset jumps to say that, actually, it's always been pronounced eastasia.
Anyway, if I have to go through hell that's what's going to happen. Nothing I can do about that. NPCs get put through whatever the player wants them to be put through. Maybe I've done it thousands of times already, and the player draws such immense enjoyment from my fiery end that he keeps reloading the level, backing up the save.

Anything strike you as concerning with that hypothetical? what if is my point. The only reason the bible is framed out in magic and mysterious God is because bronze age and iron age men wrote it. with a greater understanding comes a clearer and more concise picture of God. God is not nor ever meant to be forever shrouded in mystery. all we are doing here is putting labels or understanding to who and what God is. This does not diminish God in any way just the picture that demands God must remain hidden. Again what if God is a supremely advanced being. didn't captain picard say any sufficiently advance race would be indistinguishable from god to a less advanced race of beings (clarks 3 laws) If this being seeded earth or programmed it and this being hit all the high points in the bible legitly, then why wouldn't it be God even if science could label it?

All of that was already assumed. What if is a great question. To me, the what if is inconsequential. Have you considered the ramifications of the comparison to your own beliefs? Does anything stand out as troubling for you, or an issue that would cause you to reevaluate your notions of god?
There's no point in trying to argue any "wouldn't this be a god even if science cant yadda yadda yadda", and science already has a label for "advanced alien species".....advanced alien species. That's what god is if you say so, that's the hypothetical we're engaging in...isn't it? So...what if that's true? What does it mean to or for you?

-and been cured of cancer, and aids, and made successful in business. Even communicated directly via am radio with him once. Couple of those might actually be satans dept - it does seem like both sides have had a taste and passed on seconds.
As good a place as any for some music.

Yeah, he's been here awhile. Put in some really good work - the nuts have a long row to hoe if they want to match our boy.
