I'm back!

I'm back!
I’m back!  Since last August I’ve been working on  - no joke – my wife’s Christmas present!  Finally done.  Any way – now I can shift from “grinding little pieces of glass for three hours a night” mode to “thinking about what kind of beings we are” mode.  Some of you might remember me, but for those who don’t, I’m an example of that rare breed – the non-materialist atheist - someone who understands that the materialist conception of experience as something happening in a material brain is mistaken.  I’m very much interesting in finding other people who think the same way, so if you’re worldview is anywhere close to that, I’d really like to hear from you.  I’m happy to make contact with any non-materialists out there.  Glad to be back.

Welcome back.

Is the Christmas present for last Christmas or the one coming up?

Heller. Welcome back.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

As a non-materialist, why make her anything at all? She's simply going to interpret it in her brain via her senses, and you've already said that isn't necessary. Just convince her she's had the experience outside of her material brain and you can save all that tedious glass grinding.

Welcome all the same.

Welcome back. Can I make you a cuppa? How about a scone?
