Trump it? What, in the sense you're more certain? (in an absolute sense, because you're gnostic). How do you mean 'trump it'??
Certainty doesn't make its existence any more likely whatsoever. Obviously[/i.]
(That is; [i]if you were implying any such thing).
When I say he exists in my brain, I don't mean a supernatural being that created the universe exists in my brain. I mean he exists as an idea in my brain, and that idea is something physical in my brain. There's nothing 'God shaped' (if he has a shape!! (?)), that has any 'God capabilities', that created the universe, is a deity, and is "God" - in that sense - in my brain. I just mean 'he' exists as an idea in my brain. Just as the FSM does, lol. I don't mean there's a little FSM or a little "God"(/s) in my brain...I never meant they exist in that sense...I just mean - as I said - that they exist as ideas.
Just as how 2+2 exists as a concept for how to measure, and it can also exist on paper and in computers, etc, etc, you can put it down - but there isn't a single physical thing out there, that is 2+2 itself. 2+2, if it exists at all; as far as I know only exists as a concept - in our brains, on paper, in computers, etc, etc, etc. I'm saying the same for God and the FSM (etc).
And I do not see how on earth 'him' 'existing' as an idea, a concept within my brain - means that I should be any more certain that he exists "in other places too" (as you say)???
