Question about meaning and perception of reality from a theist.
RE: Question about meaning and perception of reality from a theist.

If you say the purpose of the knife is cutting tomatoes and I say it is stabbing people we have differing perceptions about the purpose of the knife. Knives aren't real, they have no inherent purpose. If you believe that consciousness is real, it would have inherent purpose, what that purpose is is open for debate. If you believe consciousness merely exists in time and space there can be no real purpose to it. Just as there can be no purpose for knives. Do with them what you will in that case, it doesn't matter.

What a load of dribbling shit!!!!!!

You sir have no fucking idea at all what the fuck you are on about.

How about I stab you in the eye with a knife and then you can tell me how fucking unreal that knife is.

"Knives aren't real. They exist in physical reality"

What the fuck is this supposed to even mean????
