It seems to fit nicely into your beleif system.Bit confused here...the whole thread is about whether experience and testimony really prove anything - that is the question being discussed. On my view, there is an external reality which we can know by experience and (to a lesser extent) testimony. But I accept that because of God, who has created us with a purpose to loving (and therefore, knowing) realities other than ourselves - the world, other people, and God Himself. I am asking the skeptical question because I want to know on your various views of the world how you justify belief in an external reality.
I ask you again;
So where is this 'mental construct' constructed if there is no reality.

conclusion = "it's all in YOUR mind" and there are quite a few people who have the same experience. Doesn't make it any more 'real'
