Things are ok.... I still have time to post here at the moment (although not as frantically often as usual) - but I wanted to warn against the possibility of me abandoning time here altogether because I didn't want to make any false promises of activity. And at the time I felt a bit boxed-in I guess.
I know you weren't meaning to be logical but I just like playing with the fact that imaginary things are real in the sense that the imagining of them is real

No no.... merely imagining them makes them real (as imaginations)
So, in a trivial sense, God does exist. Damn. We'd better change the name of these forums.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken
'False religion' is the ultimate tautology. 'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain 'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
No no.... God's existence and the existence of the mere imagining of his existence are two different things.

Not if you believe that all of the world's an illusion.
Anyway, now that we've proved that Charlie Brown exists, we 're going to have to start thinking of theodicies to explain the existence of shoddy doghouses.

The whole of the world can't be an illusion because those who imagine the illusion can't be illusions and they themselves are part of the rest of this world, whether it's illusory or not (otherwise they couldn't live and survive in it).

An interesting assumption. Of course if you are imagining those who imagine the illusions, then they are in fact illusions.
Blame Hitchens, Dawkins & Harris...
