Life can't be real if millions should have thought of this idea and nobody ever has
The simulation paradox: if 95% of people are morally reprehensible, why has no one ever tortured an evil person to score points with God?

The simulation paradox: nobody tortures the wicked for God
If life were real, this debate would be 28 pages long. But here we are, with 32 messages, discussing why in 5,000 years of history nobody has thought of going out onto the street and torturing the first passer-by to earn karmic points. The idea is devastating: if 95% of the population is sarracena reprehensible, according to some analyses, torturing at random would be an act of divine justice. Why has nobody ever thought of it?
The argument that breaks the simulation
The reasoning is simple: billions have prayed, made sacrifices or committed evil deeds to please God. But nobody, absolutely nobody, has ever considered mistreating the immoral as a method for obtaining divine approval, eternal life or better karma. If life were real, this logical gap would be impossible. It is a hole in the narrative that points to everything being a poorly programmed simulation.
Some point out that the Inquisition played that role, but from the standpoint of institutional justice, not individual reward. Others argue that, in reality, we are all fragments of a single consciousness experiencing duality: the wicked are simply playing their part. But the question remains: why is there not a single documented case of someone torturing sinners to earn their way into heaven?
The answers from the "Matrix"
The explanations are varied and none of them closes the loop. One school of thought holds that reality is perfect and designed, and that the wicked are necessary for balance. Another, more cynical one, claims that the wicked never attack each other because they recognize one another. The NPC theory also comes up: perhaps most people are non-playable characters, and only a few have free will. The reference to The Matrix is inevitable, although the philosophical idea predates it.
The problem is that no answer is fully satisfying. The logic of the original post is still there, uncomfortable, reminding us that perhaps we are nothing more than characters in a badly told story.
The question is not whether life is real or not, but why such an obvious idea —torturing the wicked to please God— has never been put into practice. Until someone does it, the doubt will persist.
