Prove you are real

[Blackrook]

People are constantly demanding God prove he's real.

I ask you, prove you are real.

I'm more of a, I stink therefore I am,, kinda guy...

I took a philosophy class, and learned that some philosophers don't believe anything is real, even other people.

So I ask you, if I was to doubt your existence, how would you prove to me you are real, and not a figment of my imagination?

I don't believe you could.

I'm not...I'm just an internet presence following a virtual diety until we all break down into electrons.

We're not real.

Testing........

Yup, I'm here. The internet sez so.

Meanwhile God has zero posts.

It's an interesting challenge....I took a philosophy course years ago and remember something like what you said.

 

[Moonglow]

Well I was real, until they wanted me to pay the bill...

Are you positive?

I was hoping Matthew would jump in here, and try to prove he is real.

I ask you, prove you are real.

Per the implicit typing rule in FORTRAN, any variable beginning with the letters I through N is an INTEGER, and all other variables are REAL, unless explicitly declared otherwise.

As every form of every part of my name, (Bob, Robert, Wells, Blaylock) begins with letters outside of the range of I through N, and since no statement has been given declaring me to be of any other type, I am REAL, no matter how you arrange the parts of my name.

I don't care if you doubt my existence.

I don't believe you could.

But I wouldn't care. And that's real.

He's not. Since his name begins with M, and since there is no declaration otherwise, Matthew is INTEGER.

You were caught in the virtual reality hiccup...

 

[Gracie]

Matthew is too angry at God and everyone else to answer anything.

 

[Moonglow]

The thing I discovered when reading many different philosophers is that they all seem to have different ideas...
