What if God is intentionally hiding? [View all]

[DetlefK]

Imagine the world to be like a PC-game:
You are the omniscient, omnipotent player controlling the lives of creatures inferior to you.
They live and act according to their whims and predetermined behavior.
If they stray from the path you have determined, you manipulate their reality.
They don't realize that you have manipulated their reality.
They don't realize the changes themselves.
They just realize the world as is.
They don't realize the existence of the player.
That's why they keep sticking to the one and only way of living.


Imagine a more advanced PC-game:
What if those tiny creatures were able to realize those changes in reality?
They would be able to see the difference between past and present.
They would react by changing their behavior to a mixture between a normal life and an adaption to the existence of changes.


Imagine humans:
What if humans were able to deduce, beyond doubt, the existence of the player/God?
Taking the human nature into account, would they keep on living the lives that God has preordained for them?
Or would they abandon the "natural" way and instead focus their lives on understanding/dissecting God in philosophic/psychological/scientific ways?
Is it that far off, that some people would rebel against this almighty ruler, just because he merely exists?




If God knew, that the humans would sabotage his project and intentions once they knew of his existence, wouldn't it be better for him to stay the hell out of sight?
