I’d go with “Hey, it’s God. I actually AM real, but I’m heading out. You guys are on your own from now on, no more afterlife or anything. So be good to each other! Alright, I’m out. (oh, and just some advice? you might want to get ahead of this climate change thing)”
Sounds like a recipe to stir up religious backlash on insert group here for driving god away
Yeah, I was hoping the wording of my message would make people give up religious malarkey, but you’re probably right. Even being told “don’t use religion to be a jerk” wouldn’t stop people from doing it.
tbf, I can’t think of a better message myself
Give them all a vision of the Earth from space. Look at that, all ya sonsa bitches.
“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’”
— Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut, People magazine, 8 April 1974.
What’s that? Oh shit, can they hear us? Turn it off, TURN IT OFF!
Omg. Calm down Satan. /s
Wait, did I remember to lock the door?
Reject your humanity become a catgirl nyaaa

That’s the one.
It’s a good idea to have government programs to take care of citizens without requiring any strings to get help.
“Dammit I just lost The Game”
We have to stop killing the ecosystem and each other immediately!
Instructions unclear, invented an extinction event bioweapon.
I fucking hate people!
“You lost the game”
That’s just rude. But also the best idea.
Fuck you, it was a year already.
“The purpose of your life is to make others happy”
Put that in the head of all the ‘players’.
Instant misery for everybody as nobody would be able to take care of themselves.
Ahh, but if I die of starvation, I can’t very well make people happy, now can I? Assuming everyone followed the thought’s direction, the way to best make people happy is for me to live a healthy and long life, probably. (Of course, it’d be up to each individual to determine how to best make other people happy. Maybe I would decide that my contribution to climate change was causing unhappiness, so I would end my life.)
How does that follow?
Your purpose is to make others happy == sacrifice your well being
When you only live to make others happy, you disregard your needs by putting others first. That ends affecting your well being. Your whole personality turns into service and you are easily exploited and abused.
“the purpose of your life is to make others happy”
No one said anything about only. My purpose is to build new things. I eat, sleep, and interact with others in an attempt to put myself in my best condition - this is no different.
Ignoring self-maintenance is against any purpose but sacrifice
Protect those weaker than you.
The signal your brain gets when you really have to take a shit, right now, or there will be dire consequences.
The death count would be immense
“hmm, I should try LSD.”
The experience of being the victim of real violence. It’s pretty clear most people don’t really get it. And it’s weirdly common for people to have romantic ideas about fighting, revenge, punishment, war, and even torture. I think it would be eye opening.
And oppression. Real, actual oppression, not whatever middle class white Christian Americans think is oppression.
Pssst, hey. You’re in a simulation. Wake up!
