Living in a sim...

[Irreligious Atheist]

Even if we conclusively prove we are in a sim, it still won't change anything, other than snowflakes and loonies going around killing because there's no extra life in heaven.

I would argue that all we have is our consciousness. And the qualia of that is the same irrespective. So the difference is theoretical at best.

I would say our being in a sim is the only chance we have for any extra life in heaven.    This is because impossibilities can be rendered seemingly real through simulation, so long as one does not look too closely.

If the simulator sent us to heaven or hell, that would just be a copy of us, I think. If the simulation is played back, I don't know if that would be a copy of us or the current us. I want to believe.

When it comes down to analyzing the Sim Theory, it's every bit as nonsensical as religion.

Not really. The idea of an eternal being who has always been conscious, while it can't entirely be ruled out because we can't prove a negative, is not a logical concept. The only similarity between theism and the simulation hypothesis is that neither can be shown to be true right now. A simulation is a logical concept and simulations already exist. Gods don't, as far as we know.
