Is reality real? 
Are there more real realities?
But one thing is for sure, 
a (supposed) simulated reality is 
a lot cheaper than a (supposed) real one.
Or that a Simulator is not
as rich as a real God.
Turtles all the way down.
(Not sure that demolishing the Simulation Argument,
or demolishing simulated realities,
is the same as demolishing Theisms.)
