The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
RE: The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
We don't have to determine if people are real. We assume they are, it's a reasonable assumption. Worst case scenario, I'm a brain in a vat interacting with figments of my imagination in ways agreeable to me. So what? It's better than not interacting with them.

We can never prove anyone is real. That is the problem of solipsism, it's a much debated branch of philosophy. You can't simply ignore it I'm afraid.

You also have to assume people are real, you can't know for sure either. Saying stuff about God doesn't get around your limitations as a human. It would be good if you could acknowledge that. How exactly could you distinguish between this reality and an exact copy being fed into your brain and body giving you identical sensations, but which wasn't real? By definition, you can't. Do you agree?
