I'm talking about god. Hmmm, looking at other things in the same catagory is diverting attention? Why is it OK to accept some things without emperical evidence and not others? Why is consistancy a bad thing? >And your neat little insistence that no > data is necessary or possible about the existence of this figment. Uh-huh, just like no data is necessary or possible concerning your self-awareness. But, talking about that is diverting, because you believe in it. :-) > Could it be? Is your computer screen red? No. I'll freely admit there is no emperical proof that God exists, just as there is no emperical proof that free will, human rights, your self-awareness exists as something independant. If you supply an example of an experiment that could either falsify or verify any of those, then I'd be more than happy to look at it. But, if I understand you correctly, since you believe in some of those, they aren't figments. Those you don't believe in, are figments. Your criterion for truth and falsehood is your belief system. Agree with Erik==true. Don't agree with Erik==false. Forgive me if I don't consider myself deluded for not agreeing with your belief system.
