My friend Sylvia, who is blind, would say color is irrelevant.

It is...what it IS, Blue.

It is...what it IS.

Now if you want to ask about perceptions of what it IS...that is a different thing entirely.

Is that what you are asking?

Are you asking about perceptions of what it is?[/b]

Very well.

And so, if one can't give a definitive answer in regard to something as basic as the color of that dress, it's pointless to expect a definitive asnwer to a question like "are there gods in the Reality?"

God is like the color of that dress.

It is...what it IS.

So, what is it?

No. You seem to be saying that the dress has a definitive color. I'm saying that its color is entirely a matter of perception, and God is like the color of that dress.

The color is whatever it is...and if that particular color is perceived differently by different people...that is what the color is.

Do gods exist, Blue?

According to what we've established by the example of the color of that dress, they do for some people.

I do not know...and have said that several times.

(HINT: You do not know if gods exist or not.)

No you didn't. Unless I missed it, what you said is, "The color is whatever it is...and if that particular color is perceived differently by different people...that is what the color is."

So, according to what you've written the color of that dress is simultaneously the way you preceive it and the way other different people perceive it. That's the way it is.

Not by my perception.

Is is, isn't it?
