Simulation Theory is Contemptible Theology

 Simulation theory is the idea that all-powerful beings with root access to our universe live in a plane totally superior to our own. They can alter our reality to produce coincidences that happen to have meaning in our limited mortal socially-rooted perceptions. In other words, the theory that the ancients were exactly right about the structure of the cosmos. 

 Except the ancients were wrong because these super-astral beings aren't divine, they're, uh, non-divine. Because reasons. Totally different.

 There's no such thing as the sacred, see, because these transcendental superhumans can do literally everything a sacred being can do, point for point for point, without being sacred.

 The point of simulation theory is to believe in zeus without having to respect zeus as being superior.

 The point of simulation theory is that when you die, god uses ctrl-x on your code and ctrl-vs you somewhere else if he feels like it, except it's not god so you don't have to worship him. That just being transcendent doesn't mean you're, like, transcendent.

 "Atheism is wrong about absolutely everything without exception, with the exception that I get to go on being an atheist." 

 Simulation theory is the theory that neener neener we're better than you, because I said so. But we use long latin-rooted words to say so. Which means we're adults and not tiny brats.

 Utterly contemptible. Very democratic.
