Question

I saw this question in philosophy section, but wanted to send it here so more people could see it on this active section.
If you found out that whole life, from your birth, is like The Truman Show: A complete lie, and entertainment for others to see, everyone you loved, or befriended are just actors. How would you react?

Pascal's wager? How is it related to this?

Answer 1

I had this imagination when I was 10 years old.
I got this strange idea that, god has created every thing around us to test me, and everything is preplanned according to my reaction. And there is no one other than me on this place called earth, every this else is just a show.

So the two Christian or non-Christian, philosophy facilitates you already know and comprehend deeper approximately issues you suspect (the existence or non-existence of God) and its possibilities and motives for the comparable

Answer 3

MY LIFE WAS LIKE THAT.When I was a Mormon, I was taught that God (Big brother) was watching me and Satan was after me, and Everyone around me (Nonmormons) were watching me, so I thought everyone was watching me, and felt as if they were, I did not feel like I could be alone without feeling that EYES were not on me at all times. I developed the fear of not being able to go out in public for a while, (Forgot what the fear or phobia is called) and then I got out of the religion and got saved, whew! Life is so much better for me!
