I am an orthodox Christian, ask me a question!

Post #128: It's not me making assumptions; I am only pointing out that you are yourself making assumptions, such as the assumption that you are conscious, the assumption that reality exists (in spite of quantum physicists disagreeing!), the assumption that other minds exists, etc.

I said quantum physicists disagreeing. Not me (I am not a quantum physicist), and not Bohmists, but specifically Bohrists/Copenhagists.

BTW, you say you don't discount the existence of other historical religious figures...please tell me, do you discount Hercules or Achilles?

I don't know if those Greeks who believed in those myths believed in them as historical (human) persons. It seems unlikely to me.

If they did, I would have no reason to deny that such human persons existed. That doesn't mean I accept them as gods or accept their religious claims.

There are other religions that I do know look up to historical human persons, who are either both divine and human, or only human but with a special contact to the divine, according to them. I have no reason to deny their historical existence.

For instance, according to many, it's very likely that Odin was a historical person, a warrior/shaman, who came to be worshipped as a god.
