(December 1, 2015 at 10:40 pm)Heat Wrote: What do you think of this theoretical proposal:

God exists outside the mind, because we have developed the intelligence to imagine one existing outside the human mind, that it does. This is what you could say would separate us from animals, because no animal has the intelligence to imagine this concept.

And that all your concepts about what exists outside the human mind carry over, outside the human mind. Whatever god you believe in, that is what exists, not in alternate reality, not in reality, in...the afterlife. 


(P.S. I know this is illogical, I do not believe it. Do not attempt to accuse this of being what I personally believe, i'm just initiating a discussion with a prompt.)


I will imagine you one better. I imagine a universe that is utterly and completely as if there isn't and never was God.

The power of my imagination is clearly much greater than yours because I can actually make reality outside my mind conform to my imagination without just asserting imagination makes reality.
