Unironically, we exist within a loosh farm. The Earth is flat and this is a prison planet. The Gnostics were the first to clue into this. I don't know if Gnosticism is the full truth, it's hard to know anything for certain on this side of eternity, but I believe it is closer to the truth than most religions. Many religions have a kernel of truth to be gleaned from them but Gnosticism as been the most personally enlightening for me and accurately reflective of the connotations of reality.
