Animists believe that objects really DO have the properties we say they have. They really DO believe that objects have some mysterious boundary drawn around them that distinguishes them from everything else.
They really DO believe that light of 650nm IS red, that a TV really IS a TV, that a fish's eye really IS a form, that there really IS a sound in the forest, that the brain really DOES have functions... All very primitive..
You want proof? Here's proof: What material, rational, property distinguishes a TV from the carpet it stands on? I can tell you, because I'm not a religious atheist animist - NONE.
That's why I'm smiling, while others complain.
I was unaware I believed in animism? And here I thought I was a materialist. thanks John jones for setting me straight.
