Right. Thanks for 'enlightening' me.

Nigga wtf you talking about. I ain't no damn god, 'god' doesn't even exist, it's just a congruous mental construct.

okay let me chew on the food for you: consider a simulation of what you consider real, then consider the ability of that simulation to reach a point where it can simulate itself within itself. what would that simulation be like? like the simulation it's simulating, which in turn is like what you consider real life. if it's a simulation then it's simulating something, if it's not simulating something then it's not a simulation.

>dont you feel stupid talking about something while it clearly does not even exist
Not really. People talk and debate about stuff that ends up not existing all the time. Here I'll give you one lol-tastic example: string theory. That shit was hilarious. 

>if it's not simulating something then it's not a simulation.
Wow holy shit, thank you, high commander obvious.

the implications being the simulation describes what's beyond it, and their agents within describe through their actions the simulation itself, so if you consider yourself sentient and believe to be within a simulation, you can understand the simulation and, through said knowledge, understand what lies beyond it. as above so below, you dolt. so i ask again, would goombas blame miyamoto for existing?

>delve into platos cave meme to understand my claim
I graduated from high school a long ass time ago, dude.

>so i ask again, would goombas blame miyamoto for existing?
If they knew miyamoto existed? Yes, most definitely.

if you think you are in a simulation and also that whatever it's simulating is beyond you, then you don't really believe to be in a simulation as much as you believe to be watching a simulation unfold in front of you, and the rules of it not applying to you in any way you can grasp, somehow. if a goomba understood its' purpose then it would probably feel honoured to be part of it, rather than resentful about the place it occupies within. if a goomba, however, misunderstood the program that makes it tick, it would probably feel like the game could've been something else.
