You could equally have said "The mind is the mind" and would not have said less. It is the specification of those properties that make the concept meaningful which I was actually referring to.
i'm not interested in your opinions on my word usage. tell me, was the definition I provided for mind not consistent with its use in the premises of the argument? is the argument not valid because the definition I gave creates a logical inconsistency? those are the questions i'm interested in... you can argue semantics with someone else.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
