A better question that "does god exist" is "do you exist".

Do you exist? Prove it.

If you exist, then you must be clearly distinguishable from the environment you exist in, isn't that right? If not, we would have to say that you exist, but we cannot find you anywhere. But how can we know you exist if we cannot find you.

So in order to say that you exist you must prove that you are separate from everything else...

The concept of self and the concept of god are equal in that they are both beliefs.

Hi Letty

Hmm... He said that he was. He didn't say what he was.
The whole "cogitas ergo sum" business is at best a proof of existence, but it doesn't say any more than that; existence.

But it is a catchy phrase :wink:

Good early morning, all.

Cyracuz, I think we once agreed that man could be spiritual and not material, but here is a tribute to your countryman, Greig. Video is not too clear, but the music is still superb, Norway.

Sire accuse!

No, he says if you think therefore he is.

(Hence he is a figment of your imagination.)

Depuis quand l'excitation de l'hypothalamus est une preuve d'existence?

Do you think people who live under a tyranny do not exist?

l'hypothalamus d'un phantôme? La main et la bite aussi?

Pardon, je suis nul en philo... mais pour que une branlette puisse se passer, il faut que qqs trucs sont vrais...

1. un main
2. une bite
3. qqs photos d'Alizée en maillot de bain (Ou bien Zazie)
4. Madame Contrex est partie chez Maman jusqu'a 18h environ

How very alarmist. I think living under a tyranny wouldn't take away all significant choice.
Personal right and wrong - to forgive or not, to care or not, to have faith or not, be kind or not, strive or not, hold resentments or not...

Dans le fond, t'as raison:: tout plaisir que la main n'atteint pas, n'est qu'un leurre.

So, those who dont exercise these rights are non-existent?

Yes, God exists. To find out if we exist, find a mirror and check to see if that smile is still there.

Have you ever seen your imaginary friend besides you, in the mirror?

I know, I know, he is capable of funny tricks...
