Question about meaning and perception of reality from a theist.
RE: Question about meaning and perception of reality from a theist.
Well, you just finally said something worth reading. You said, "if god exists, god is reality." Of course, you are still lacking in the "why" department. Nonetheless, adding the "if god exists" part is rather forward-thinking of you. What you have to understand is that you cannot prove god exists. Therefore, you cannot prove your point, even if you handle the "why" aspect of your assertion. Sorry, dude. Remember: repeating what you have already said is not going to handle the "why." I've read it. It doesn't explain how you can go from one to the other.

A question for you -- what if more than one god exists? What do you have then? What if your definition of god is wrong and it really means "creature that lives outside of reality?" All right, that was two questions, but I was only serious about the first one.
