I beg to differ. Can you prove Darth Vader didn't exist 'a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away'?
And what's the difference between reading fiction in a book, even an old book, or watching fiction in a film?

looter-" a person never rails against something they don’t think exists. And that's fact."
Yes they do. Who didn't hate Bennett in the film 'Commando'? We loved it when Arnie sticks it to him.
Darth Vader... what a bastard. I know he turned good in 'Return of the Jedi' but I could never forgive him for killing Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The god of the bible. What a heartless wanker...
All fiction...

It just takes time. This time next year you will read this thread and laugh.
Doing bad things can sometimes feel so good. Practice makes perfect.
People feel the same coming out of a controlling relationship. You have to learn to enjoy your new found and hard earned freedom. It will become natural soon enough.
31 is no age. If you have a dream, go for it.

Why does it have to be God? Why not a simulation?

Vidqun-"If it is a simulation, would you not need a creator to create the simulation (as in the Matrix Trilogy)?"
Not necessarily no. That's limiting outside the simulation to what the simulation is inside.
If outside the simulation is so vastly different to what we experience in the simulation then maybe there is no beginning and no end, no up and no down, in fact it could be void of dimension.
Wild speculation obviously but equally as valid as any theistic hypothesis when it comes to assuming an alternative. The only advantage with simulationism is that it can answer every question thrown at it.

Vidqun-" I stress the point, an information system cannot develop by itself or be derived from non-living matter."
But doesn't this point also work against theists inasmuch as the vastness of information required to create the Creator goes off the scale.
An old argument I know but what it does do is to highlight the folly of the assumption that there is a 'creator' (as in god of the bible) based on the above argument.
Vidqun-"So, what are the alternatives? You be the judge…."
There are alternatives that don't include a creator, like simulationism. If the information programmed in matter is created externally then an alternative explanation could be that we live in a simulation.
Therefore it is an assumption to believe in a creator when a simulation is an equally plausible explanation.
