Free will is an illusion anyway. Your brain is controled by natural laws just as everything in the universe!

Rubbish! What a computer simulation does, can also be calculated by humans, just slower. And a computer isn't made by a god, it's made by a "failable" human.

This claim is very dangerous. It says: "Don't think for yourself! It's too complex for you! Let a 'god' think for you!" This is one of the reasons why the church got so much power in the middle ages.
