I can simply say that since God speaks about people in a sacred book and affirms there are other creatures than myself, I can rest assured there are other minds. I admit it's a clumsy example, but you get the idea: you have no foundation to assert that anything is true outside of your brain.
Neither do you. Can you demonstrate your book exists anywhere else besides your mind?
Quote:Or, to put it more radically, anything you consider to be true is only true for you. Nothing you say has any truth value whatsoever.
How does your personal belief in a god solve this problem? Maybe your mind, with its god-belief, is the only one that exists. You don’t seem to be grasping the concept of solipsism.
Quote:You must have encountered a similar argument related to morality, there cannot be an objective morality without a supreme moral entity. Even if one says that well-being or minimzing suffering is an objective criterion of good moral actions, one can simply keep asking what makes this criterion superior to other competing criteria, etc.
What makes god’s morals better than anyone else’s? If morals are based on what god says is right then they’re still subjective. In this instance the subject is god. Gods don’t solve any problems with coherence or morality.

Really? You just told me they were undeniable.
