What the nonbeliever will never accept, and therefore always fall into the trap, is that reality is precisely what you want to believe it is contrary to reality simply because of free will. If you think life is a simulation, life will correspond to provide you with evidence that it is. God sends the nonbeliever a strong delusion in keeping with their faith. No one goes to Hell who didn't choose to go. That is why those of us who worship God seem like lunatics to the lost. From their point of view it is lunacy. Truth is lunacy to the one who loves the lie, and chooses to follow it.
So you are agreeing with the fact that Universe is a simulation. In your view, its a simulation where God makes us see what we believe, so a simulation by God. This is a valid stance to have, dont get me wrong, just pointing out that its still a kind of simulation.
Cave men called the wonders of creation the works of magical beings and gods because that was their level of comprehension. Nowadays, we call those same wonders the work of a simulation because that is our current level of comprehension. There is a little truth in both views, and the common ground between them is our primitive state trying to comprehend the incomprehensible. Our current reality is not ultimate reality. If that makes it a simulation, then I'm fine with that description. What I oppose is a materialistic view of it.
