So why are you on a website devoted to philosophy?
Because that's my philosophy...my philosophy that there is a first and only principle running the show...is that alright with you, or do I have to seek your approval first?

I am interested in the show but not in faith since it just gets in the way of trying to understand

life is an exact discipline but not the kind of discipline that humans attribute it with the way life runs itself is
very accurate and precise that is all I am trying to show you. Life is running you you are not running the show
Life is not an exact discipline or accurate or precise [ because death is inevitable ] but it is running the show
Have you ever died not someone else not your pet or some flower but you as you are right now have you ever died
How can you say that is is inevitable .. you have never known death you have no idea what death is
The dead do not know death either but that does not stop them from being dead
I shall accept and embrace it when the time comes for it is not a problem for me

The living and the dead have no knowledge they are alive or dead. Only knowledge informs reality.

Remember when the higher truth warned but did not force..warning you don't eat from the tree of knowledge else you die, but then you were tricked into believing you would not die if you did what you were warned not to do?

The lower truth could not resist the temptation of being told what to do and what not to do, they wanted authority of their own lives, so decided to use their freedom to choose ..

But what if you'd not eaten from the tree of knowledge...how would you have known you lived.

Knowledge informs illusory reality.

No one dies, because no one lives.

Nothing lives because everything lives.
Nothing dies because everything dies.

I am not a moderator.

You don't seem to know what philosophy is. You were getting on quite well with your questions.

I know that to question existence is a philosophical long discussion that can go on forever indefinitely .....

But to know God without knowing is not a philosophy...it's an absolute irrefutable self withstanding truth.

Asking questions about existence, and learning the several theories of existence can help you to come to a reasoned decision about existence.

Nobody can refute your experience, which is private to you. Your interpretation of your experiences as what you, DontAskMe, call "God" is also your own interpretation. If you want to argue in support of your own interpretation your arguments are welcome in a philosophy discussion.

You experience, and interpret your experiences and that is a fact. It is a fact for each of us. Your claim that your interpretation of your experiences is "irrefutable self withstanding truth" is arrogant and unsupportable . Nobody knows what absolute truth is.

I'm open to being wrong, and is why I'm both a skeptic and a critical reasoning rational conscientious thinker.

No one knows what absolute truth is...and that's the truth.

"Wise I may not call them, for that describes God alone. Lovers of wisdom or philosophers is a better way of describing them." -- Socrates

I'll gracefully allow you the last word.

Thanks but I don't want the last word. Too much responsibility for a mortal woman.

Impossible as one would need to exist for all time for that to happen
