Thanks again  for your gentlemanly response, RoadRunner.


[3]   Yes, and I think that we all subjectively interpret an objective reality.  Would this not be true for the atheist as well.  To separate objective truth  from subjective influences, I think that we need to go back and look at what we are basing it on (reasons and evidence).  And even then we may not always agree.  Just like in this conversation, I think there is a large bridge between where we are starting from.  I also think that we need to look to others as well, and their reasons for a similar or dissimilar view.  How would you answer this from your view?

I would say that to my knowledge, regardless of an individual's thought patterns and views, that currently, by itself, the human mind subjectively interprets objective reality.  Regarding your question, I'm afraid that I do not have an answer; however, I was interested in learning about what you have to say about the matter, and as you suggest, perhaps other members can contribute their insights and thoughts, provided that they are interested. 

I appreciate your response and your time and attention, sir.  Thanks.
