sim theory

Oh come on! If sim theory were true would we have banalities such as generic Q-tips, fake snow, The Oakridge Boys? Why wouldn't everything either be first person shooter scenarios or anime porn? Why would any gamer, cosmic or otherwise, program Gerald Ford, bubble gum stuck on your shoe or cat videos? Relating this idea to a god is silly.

guess you stopped reading 1/2 through to ask why does God need a star ship..

answered that in the second 1/2:

The bible describes us as a spiritual being being separate from this physical form. so rather than being a digital consciousness in a simulated body/brain in a vat or a conscious sub routine, we are a spiritual being or consciousness being transmitted into a fleshed out form like avatar? again this is on a base line what the bible describes our relationship with out body is. we are a mind/body soul and spirit. the mind and body being the big blue cat people and all the physical stuff needed to run the body, and soul is our tangible spiritual form and our spirit is that forms will or essence.

What if we are in a sim like the bible describes to see where our allegiance lies?

I often thing what if we are the fallen angels that satan tricked as they were all cast to earth. and some of us were simply caught up in following our orders/think we were serving God when in fact we were rebelling, and rather than God throw us all away he put us into this sim to prove to ourselves who we really are. are we one of God's people of one of satans.

if you want a real discussion i daniel am open to one if you want to be mean and nasty drich can help you with that.

No, I read in it's entirety and did not mention a starship. My argument stands except perhaps your god would be silly enough to program The Oakridge Boys and generic q-tips. So would you Drich. Your just as banal and boring as your god. Perhaps you are busy programming your god into the vat called your brain?

I find it incredibly difficult to imagine we are living in a simulation.
But if we were, what would bother me most is that the moment I am experiencing may be just a scene, a part in a play.
Maybe my memories never happened.
My daughter's not in my eyesight right now, maybe she doesn't even exist.
Just the few minutes I've taken to write this down maybe all I've ever experienced.

I think it all stems from the brain in a vat scenarios which in one way or another have been talked about for centuries or more.
It's a mental brain virus that feeds back on itself, like religion.
Anyone can think it up and once it's thought of it's hard to put back, if you know what I mean?

Hard to unthink once you entertain the notion.

If we have a physical body that we're traipsing around the physical world with, then sim theory is out the window Drich. You're just talking about boring old dualism.

Dualism is what magic book describes, not sim theory. The people who wrote magic book had no idea what a sim was, they believed in ghosts.

[Nay_Sayer]

You're presenting an idea not a theory. Small quibble.

[The Grand Nudger]

To me this says dualism has nothing to do with fleshed out sim theory.

Correct...drich, dualism has nothing to do with fleshed out sim theory... 

As expected, you never considered the ramifications of sim theory to your beliefs, and you may not even be capable of following a simple conversation. 

Again all i did was take sim theory and say rather than be digital we are spiritual, but what is spiritual it could be a series of electrical impulses which makes us digital.. Just showing how the bible work can also work in this theory.

dualism is the creation of reality by two opposing forces.

Magic book only "works" in one theory - exactly the way magic book describes it.  If you had the faith of a mustard seed this wouldn't be a problem for you.   Magic book says things are like x.  It doesn't say that things are kinda like this other x if you hold them at a 45 degree angle and squint just right.  You're as bad as the muslim nutters with their quranic miracle bullshit.

If this life is a game of sims, or the movie avatar, your entire religion is false.  Factually and theologically false.  Are you committed to the truth of your own religion?

[no one]

Hey drick, I think it's time you give Susan Powter a call.

Do you having a rotating drum that you just pull random words from?

[Fake Messiah]

Maybe indeed I am in a game and I forgot to turn it off and all the other "people" are just characters in a game.

I mean it makes sense because how can there really be people who believe that a man rode a flying horse to heaven to negotiate how many times a day people should pray? Or people who believe that there wouldn't be morality in the world if they didn't believe that carpenter walked on water 2k years ago?

This just can't be real. I better find the turn-off switch.

[Nay_Sayer]

So if we take this as true then the correlation is that someone programmed Drich to be as faulty and defective as possible.
