[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 10 points 11 months ago (2 children) God is a loaded term though. Yes there would be a creator but it could be a completely passive observer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 child) Why would being in a simulation require that those who create or maintain it only observe? Edit: I misread, merely observing is certainly a possibility. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vinnymac@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago Not OP, but they said “but it could be”, not that it is required. permalink fedilink source parent [–] midribbon_action@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 11 months ago (4 children) The modern Christian God is mostly a passive observer, whenever him or his agents have visited us there have been tons of miracles and magical shit, but that does not happen very often, and we've been basically alone for millenia while He is busy in his own realm. If Christ visited again, it would likely portend the end of the world, at least in a lot of Christian world views. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 1 point 11 months ago He might be passive but the implication is that you're supposed to live certain way or you'll end up in hell. This most likely isn't the case in a simulation. permalink fedilink source parent [–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago Oh no! All my thoughts and prayers! permalink fedilink source parent [–] humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su 1 point 11 months ago Christians are shitty con-artists who spread their filth by lying to, subverting, and intimidating others. I'll never get over how they call the Torah the "old testament." They do this as a sneaky way to make it seem like it's all Christianity with no ties to Judaism. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago The world already ended, and all that jazz. Happened in 1844. Just look around you. If you brought a "modern homosapien" from 12,000 years ago to the year 1800 or even 1840-1850, they would recognize things from their world. Those things may have had eons of refinement, but a horse is still mostly a horse. Bring a modern human from 1850 to today, and they will recognize almost nothing. Their world is gone. A new one took its place, as was predicted. permalink fedilink source parent
