Alright ladies, lets tone it down a bit. I really don't think anyone is trying to bash anyone in here. Stating their beliefs doesn't exactly mean they're putting you down as wrong, they just don't believe in what you do. Which is perfectly fine, I let you believe in what you do, and you let me do the same.
I suppose that's halfway what the theory of "simulation" is, between Gods and beings much more powerful than us (Which to me is around the same thing, in simple form.) Faith can only go so far in people who don't have it in the certain subject, that explains why someone who is bringing religion into play isn't getting but so far. I believe if I had to guess, that half the active forum users are Godless of some sort.
I don't want any dissing of any sort going on in this part of the forum, or any parts for that matter. It's interesting to read the reasoning behind everyone, the religious and non. It's just difficult to discuss on the same level of whether it's possible or not to happen, because both are very different.
I know Gerard has strong opinions about religion, but if you believe in it, no doubt, then I don't think it should really bother you. Anyone that's posted in this topic, or just a lurker - maybe even a random guest. I'm not going to slap anyone on the wrists and tell them to stop, unless they're repeatedly shoving down your throat.
If people question why you do what you do - explain to them why, let them see why you believe what you believe. Not just some opinion and no reasoning to back it up, that's silly. I want this to be good discussion about a (imo) pretty interesting subject, I've never heard of it before. It's a place for the more mature people to have discussion about big things. If you can't handle it, just leave.
NOTE: This was just a rant, going off some of what's been said, and some was what came to mind. I'm not pointing out on anyone (Except for Gerard, cos he's a hoebag) I just needed to get some things clear.
