    Those really aren’t the only options.

    For example, it disregards the theology of a naturally occurring physical reality born out of entropy which eventually creates a god-like being which recreates the pre-god universe in order to resurrect it non-physically (a minor theology from around the first to fourth centuries CE).

    A more modern version of a similar paradigm is simulation theory.

    There’s a pretty wide array of options out there, it’s just that the most common tend to effectively fall into your groupings.

      Sounds like variations on ‘Not paying attention to reality and believing whatever delusion you feel like.’

      None of these have any bearing on or foundation in actual physical existence. They do nothing to describe or predict. There is nothing to them. They just fulfill some desire in the believer.
