If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

yes I've read about this "philosophy" before. Unfortunately it seems another attempt to remove any notion of the traditional God from our lives.
"Perhaps at last we can do away with the question of God" the author says.
Sigh... a virtual world presumes a real world from which the simulation is modelled. But the real world must have had an existence that was created somehow and is not a simulation. Aquinas' and Aristotle's prime mover argument is left standing.
The real question is...if we were a simulation...and there was a God that existed in the real world...does the simulation still have the obligation to worship Him, or the simulation maker? Can a simulated thing worship anyway?
