For instance, any sane person would agree there is a computer in front of them right now. Now, if you replaced the word "reality" with "god", the statement is no longer true. People have all sorts of views on what god "is" (or "should be"?), but there's absolutely no way you're going to get a bunch of people to come to an absolute agreement about what the invisible looks like.

Again, the key difference is that the concept is still is based on figures and terms that can be expressed and observed in reality. <em>"What is the begining?"</em> I don't know and Mate doesn't know. Nobody knows. The difference is that I'm not arrogant enough to pretend that I do and claim that all others who believe differently will be persecuted by the great sky-daddy. --- Happy Birthday Bob!

“What is reality? Everyone has his/her own reality.”

No… everyone has his/her own view of reality. Reality does in fact exist, and we can all come to a consensus of what that is by using our wonderful skills of observation and deduction. For instance, any sane person would agree there is a computer in front of them right now.

Now, if you replaced the word “reality” with “god”, the statement is no longer true. People have all sorts of views on what god “is” (or “should be”?), but there’s absolutely no way you’re going to get a bunch of people to come to an absolute agreement about what the invisible looks like. That’s the key difference.

“what is love?”

A pattern of neurotransmitters moving across synapses in your brain. If I cut your head open, we could even measure what “it” is comprised of. Again, the key difference is that the concept is still is based on figures and terms that can be expressed and observed in reality.

“What is the begining?”

I don’t know and Mate doesn’t know. Nobody knows. The difference is that I’m not arrogant enough to pretend that I do and claim that all others who believe differently will be persecuted by the great sky-daddy.
