I believe in God too, since I think it's more likely that there is a God than that there isn't. But by "God" I mean "simulation designer", or "producer", or "player".

I recognize the simulation hypothesis as valid but what evidence have you that it is more likely the case than not?

I should start an apocalyptic Dionysian religion around one commandment and threat: "Be entertaining, or the world will be cancelled."

I might well join if you can convince me of the above.

I might well join if you can convince me of the above.

But it would be more entertaining if you became its nemesis and devoted yourself to its destruction.

I begin to sense my new religion may have severe organizational problems.
