Good thing Lucy's back with the tetrahedron. The trine no longer applies.

I believe everything which I can possibly perceive within my own imagination exists, even if only as an idea. Faries, unicorns, leprechauns all exist as possibilities of an infinite consciousness. That they are not physically real does not negate their existence. Skyscrapers, humans, anything, at one point were not physical realities. These things nevertheless exist (apart from time or space) Some have been created by humans (which were created by, or through, depending on how you want to think about it,God) others have been created by "god". Again this is a belief which stems from my belief that consciousness is universal law, which I can not prove.
Does anyone want to continue?
Then what is the difference between this and my naive acausal philosophy that states awareness proceeds existence? I'm not the first naive philosopher who was certain of the primacy of awareness; others are just now seen as formal philosophy.

Atheism does not take away from this. In my view, identifying "awareness" as agency has been shown by the historical record to be a detrimental practice. It was thus my practice to limit divinity to a certain blond - and what? Coupla days of posting that tried the patience of my fellow atheists, thus she goes unnamed.

But there's nothing to theology other than morality, and I have uncovered the highest moral in the statement of being - I love. So what are we talking about here? Making others love? They will come to it on their own or not at all; and they are entitled to identify love in their own terms. That is how I see atheism. I don't believe in your god, and I do not ask you to believe in mine. All "god" is is an identifier. The identity I am that I love - creator enough for this universe. Faith in self is the exit from duality.
