Christianity is heading for a full allegorization

Just to be clear, whenever I'm talking about PZs, it's rarely in the context of that quoted argument against physicalism... I mean I know/think that's where the term originated (?Chalmers), but that doesn't mean that's the only place that concept can be used. Just wanted to make that clear in case it looked like I was arguing that same case, because I'm not; my use of the term PZ was strictly in the context of the post I wrote, and for those reasons only... ie if it has any bearing on the so-called 'zombie argument' it is entirely coincidental Wink So in other words, what you say here about that argument's claim about logical possibility following conceivably, didn't factor in the slightest in my own thinking on the subject of PZs... to me they were just something that naturally and logically followed from my own idiosyncratic perspectives on the brain, consciousness, metaphysics etc... but I fully accept that any of that thinking could be wrong/incoherent/irrational (and that other people with different perspectives may not come to the same conclusions)... thus potentially leading me down all sorts of rabbit holes in the way I think about these sorts of questions... and thus ultimately why it can only really remain an open question to me whether my concept of PZ is even coherent or not; it's coherent enough to be a long-standing metaphysical question for me, but at the same time, as with much of philosophy, it could just be a badly framed question... ie finding the right question is half the battle.
