We currently inhabit a nasty piece of malware called the Obama Presidency.

Humans will go to great lengths to deny that there is a God, and that they are NOT him.

An interesting science-fiction story theme, but no, we are not a “computer simulation” - we are going through all this in real time and on hard physical surfaces.

Otherwise, why does it hurt so damned much when I scrape my shin?

No, that’s the “universe is an atom in a greater being’s fingernail” theory.

Very well put!

They are now claiming the “post-humans” are god.

Anything but the real God.

This theory may explain the rise of the Oregon Duck football team and the fall of my beloved Huskies. Something is testing my patience, and those of my fellow Dawg fans, as to how much more humilation we must endure! Especially the 18 pt come from behind loss to the Cougs!

Solid matter is mostly empty space, so that's something of a technical question actually, lol.

We are absolutely 1000% living in a computer simulation, no if ands or buts about it.

The proof:

1. Obama gets reelected.

2. The Maroon 5 song “Payphone” is actually a hit song.

3. M. Night Shyamalan still has a career.

4. Hillary Clinton is considered smart.

5. Nancy Pelosi keeps getting reelected.

6. Ted Kennedy kept getting reelected, even after Chappaquiddick!

7. Country music today is incredibly considered country music.

8. Saturday night live and it’s movies are considered comedy.

9. Adam Sandler has a career.

10. Keith Richards is alive.
