What a wordy OP for a LOL thread

Literally gnosticism. This is why I called out Escaping Atheism and Inspiring Philosophy live for being the heretics they are. Immaterialism is heresy.

Dude what if like reality was Sword Art Online

See, this is actually kind of interesting. J.R.R. Tolkien had a theory about man being a "sub-creator", and that we create because we are made in the image of God.

I think our concept of "simulation" is that divine nature bleeding through. It's not that we're not real or a simulation, but our concept of a simulation is just a mimicry of reality in more than just results.

Our concept of programming and simulation (through language and code) is our less real attempt at mirroring God's method of creation though speech and language. "let there be light" and such. I mean check out the worldgen system of dwarf fortress, and see how much it mirrors Genesis.

Imagine the implications of Procedural Generation and time lapse with the story of creation.

Fun fact: a jew came up with the reality simulator theory

Actually a pretty smart observation.

gnostic is hiding under your bed.

The Day of Judgement will not come about until Christians fight the Gnostics, when the Gnostics will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Christians, O Children of God, there is a Gnostic behind me, come and kill him. Even the Gharkad tree, (the Boxthorn tree) would do that because even it is one of the trees that hate the Gnostics. (Saint Bukhari)

Cool source.

>>587938

that is a theory of knowledge, nothing about simulated reality

>>585496

that's pure kabbalah.

>>587945

>pure kabbalah

What did I post that was kabbalic?

What >>585383 was neat, and he himself said our efforts to simulate the world are "less real' than the world God has physically made. This seems like a statement that is well within christian orthodoxy, and even fits well with our being called "the image of God."

>God's method of creation though speech and language.

Creating and controlling through writing and sounds. It's related to numerology and hidden "bible codes". It's part of the occultist branch of judaism.

Many prominent jews in the XIX century were aware of these adverse superstitious practices and warned against them.
