Okay, so you don't want to believe that the image in the mirror is not who you really are, you just know it's not who you are without having to believe that... is that what you mean?Harbal wrote:It's not that I don't want to believe that...Dontaskme wrote: identification with the image you see in the mirror is not who you really are.
Re: Why Don't Atheists Believe In God ?
What I mean is: when I look in the mirror, I wish the face looking back at me belonged to someone else.Dontaskme wrote: Okay, so you don't want to believe that the image in the mirror is not who you really are, you just know it's not who you are without having to believe that... is that what you mean?

LOL..your so funny Harbal...you are a hoot!
Actually, that face does belong to someone else, but it's like gravity, you can't see it, even though it's there.
Re: Why Don't Atheists Believe In God ?
I can't see gravity but it's effect is all too visible.Dontaskme wrote: it's like gravity, you can't see it, even though it's there.

It's the business of whose business it is.Dontaskme wrote:Well your right there, it's none of my business what other imagined others imagine or don't.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: I'm afraid it is. You can believe in anything you want. It's really none of your business why others don't equate imagination with reality.
Who's business is it anyway? or did you just make-up the idea that business actually belongs to someone?
Re: Why Don't Atheists Believe In God ?
So you don't deny there is a 'me' .. there's a belief there is a 'me' here right?Harbal wrote:To me, I'm afraid.Dontaskme wrote:To whom?Harbal wrote: I can't see gravity but it's effect is all too visible.
Who is seeing this 'me' ..can the seer of 'me' be seen?

Re: Why Don't Atheists Believe In God ?
I would readily deny it if doing so would make it true.Dontaskme wrote: So you don't deny there is a 'me' ..
Well I think it unlikely that anyone would pretend to be you so I guess it really is you.there's a belief there is a 'me' here right?
How am I supposed to know that?Who is seeing this 'me'
I imagine so, unless he's hiding behind something.can the seer of 'me' be seen?
Are you under surveillance or something?

I see you project those questions back at me because you do not know how to answer them yourself.Harbal wrote:I would readily deny it if doing so would make it true.Dontaskme wrote: So you don't deny there is a 'me' ..

You cannot see or know yourself and you know that, and so you only have the belief that you exist.
So now that you believe you exist.
How are you able to believe?
Who or what made that belief possible?

I doubt very much you have seen business, if you have what does it look like?
