God and the Placebo Effect

[robvalue]

How does it follow? I can create a VR by writing a computer program. Maybe elements of it become self aware, as we have. I'm "all powerful" with respect to this VR. I have total control over it. But I'm just some stupid twat in this reality. My powers do not translate.

Have you made up stuff about the creator? Or do you acknowledge it's unknowable?

i like to speculate but nothing is certain.

believing makes me feel good because im believing positive thoughts. religious or not, this applies to everyone. 

however, regardless of evidence, i will believe i can achieve that which the evidence contradicts.

if theres evidence that i will die from cancer in a week, i will believe otherwise. i hope you would make this exception as well.

i think by believing, your body and mind take action to make it happen.

thats what the placebo effect is. now, give sight to that blind belief and who knows what you can accomplish.

imo

I agree positive thinking is very useful, absolutely.
