We could all be player's in a game that someone/something else is controlling. Like the SIMs, our reality could be the construct of another species modern technology. The possibilities are endless.

If that is true I would wonder what it would take for us to become one of them.

Would a SIM be able to become a Homo Sapien?

Yes.
If all that exists now came from nothing then it is a possibility.

God gave me curiosity and a continuous stream of thoughts that always results in utter disbelief in Constantine’s Christianity.

giza said: Now since God has existed for billions of years.. there's a possibility that there are other beings that have come into existence also..
Now imagine if Jesus was not truly God. - Therefore you're joining(praising (swearing allegience)) to a power that MAY be at war with even "Stronger beings" By praising your so-called god. That may be why some people suffer the way they do. (Insulting Powers beyond your control.
Or Jesus may be a random person who proved if you truly believe you are something you will become it.
Also going to add this for you.. (If interested in my insight.) Truly think of the life of Jesus.
People "knew" he was the messiah. Imagine the amount of taunting and 'danger' he would have come across growing up.
- Jesus was raised around people who TRULY believed he was the Messiah. peoples imagination of the power of him would be a true test of existence.. (Getting blamed for all suffering in the world/Praised) By random people all his life. And a book says that this ACTUALLY happened.
God, theologically-speaking, does not "exist." God is Essence, which precedes existence. In other words, God creates/emanates existence (creation), but utterly transcends existence. God's 'signature' - Creative Intelligence - is in all things, from the structure of an atom to the complexity of a human being in a biosphere, but God is not co-extensive with matter.
Iesous, if he lived at all, WAS a man. People experienced God through their interaction with Iesous, but it wasn't until later theologians created very Hellenistic theologies (like the hybrid of God and man - a demigod or hero, like Heracles or Dionysus, born of God and mortal women). Virgin birth, nature-transcending miracles, etc. are all mythic embellishments or Jewish midrash intended to highlight the importance of Jesus' words. His word (Logos), not intended to create (as you suggest) an idolatrous cult of worship. Putting Iesous on a pedestal does not transform anyone. Learning how to 'be in Christ' does.
Iesous, being Jewish NEVER would have entertained the idea of a Holy Trinity. The biblical assertions about Iesous claiming to sit at the right hand of God, was just that - insertions by scribes. If you ever want to see how the New Testament was constructed and why, read Liberating the Gospels: Reading the Bible with Jewish Eyes by Rev. John Shelby Spong.

Sounds interesting.. I am quite fond of ancient myths/stories, I just don't like to read an interpretation of one before creating my own, so may take me an hour or so after I read it to start a conversation about it. But, thank you for turning me to it.
