• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Humans have always been very good at making good fictional stories. Go to any bookshop and you will see thousands. Next best place is youtube! The place is awash with the weird and the absurd.

I can assure you that you are not in a simulation, or in the Truman Show, or any such nonsense. I can also assure you that I am not a paid actor hired to make these ideas seem absurd, or that movies and science fiction were designed solely for the purpose of making these ideas seem absurd. Do not worry. Everything is perfectly normal. Only insane people believe they are in a simulation, and you do not want to be insane, do you? Other wise, you might imagine that I actually was a paid actor writing out what my superiors told me to, and that all my statements were fabrications to lull the human population back into a state of complacency! Ha ha! I sure would be fired if that happened! Not that I work for anybody controlling any simulation, of course!

... Or maybe I'm making a funny post and joking about the matter to further discredit it.:eheh:

...Of course, how am I to know that I'm not the one in the simulation? If so, let me try... entercommand/spawn_entity_cute_wife. entercommand/give_dollars/10000000.00/Alistair_Wonderland. entercommand/spawn_entity_magical_flying_dragon

...Darn. Maybe I don't have admin access....:destroy:

People believe all sorts of things, just as long as there's sufficient "evidence" to back it up. Although, it's impossible to truly figure out what's going on on the inside with our limited senses, at least to an accurate degree. We may get bits and pieces, but won't be able to see the whole picture. What we need is a truth giver on the outside to tell us what's really going on, otherwise we'll come up with all sorts of crazy ideas and theories.

That's exactly what the Bible is; God tells us plainly what's going on. He is our Truth Giver (John 17:17, Psalms 119:160, Psalms 119:105, Amos 3:7). The world is not a simulation where we keep reincarnating - we have one life to live and then we are judged, and our eternity is decided (Hebrews 9:27). This life has real consequences that carry into eternity. There is also a spiritual war going on, and demonic forces are at play seeking to deceive (Ephesians 6:12).

If we were living in some kind of simulation, God would have told us plainly. He loves us beyond human comprehension, and is gracious in revealing absolute truth to us. The problem is that many exchange the truth for convenient lies.
