you know what I'm starting to believe that god does actually exist and he's just messing with us for his own entertainment at this point
Parthenon gods work well for this shit. Zeus had a bad day and wanted a laugh.
Has anyone recently been raped by a goose?
Is he havin a laugh?
Or we live in a simulation.
Is there a meaningful difference between a god and a creator of a virtual universe?
Yes, only one of those is possible...
I don't think that's something that us as humans can ever know.
A simulation should approximate reality. What this is, it can't be that.
Good point, but that may be some form of contemporary art
Or both
Maybe neither
Process 8759264 (clgoh@lemmy.ca) please report to rehabilitation
Well. We don't.
How do you know?
There is no proof of God nor the simulation.
Lack of evidence isn’t evidence.
Just because you can’t prove god or simulation doesn’t exist isn’t proof that they don’t exist.
I asked how you knew, and you gave me an opinion.
In other words you don’t know, and you can’t prove or disprove it.
You are claiming that something is a certain way. The burden of proof is on the accuser. People claiming that we are in a simulation should prove it. I don't see any evidence of this presented.
There’s no burden of proof. This isn’t a court room.
You saying there isn’t a god/simulation is just as much of an accusation as someone saying there is.
You can’t prove or disprove it.
Since you’re claiming there is no god then by your logic you also have the burden of proof.
Unfortunately for you, the lack of evidence isn’t proof of anything. It doesn’t prove or disprove anything.
Your claim is just as wild as someone saying the opposite. Either way you’re taking a massive leap of faith to definitively say there is no god.
It’s no different than someone claiming there is a god. The position is equal.
The only definitive stance you can take is admitting it’s possible. Anything more is bias and opinion.
