Evidence God Exists: Part II

[Caecilian]

So, god is in our collective consciousness is he? [What] is that supposed to mean?

It's self explanatory, isn't it? Maybe you're not as smart as you think.

No it isn't self-explanatory. What exactly do you mean by a 'collective consciousness'? Sounds like gibberish to me.

Collective consciousness as the concept Durkheim invented, more than anything is the body of shared beliefs, sentiments and representations, IOW it is a construct of human feelings and imagination. So, if you are free loading on this concept to define your god, it means your god is a fabulated one and even atheists might agree.

Hmmm.. I'd very much doubt if AngelThMan has read any Durkheim. Tbh I'd be surprised if he's even heard of Durkheim.

Another interpretation might be the Jungian collective unconscious, but I doubt if he knows anything about Jung either.

Iirc 'collective consciousness' is also a term used by transcendental meditation weirdos and other similar fruitbats. I strongly suspect that its the very wooly 'new age' meaning of the term that is being employed here. Thus my comment about it sounding like gibberish.
