    Well, you see the problem with that, don't you ? If "reality" isn't just perception ,but a common perception from an outside entity, then you're actually back in a full circle to objective reality, and consequently objective morality since you have acknowledged the existence of this superior entity which defines reality and morality and, therefore , somewhat proved at least the possibility of God.

    I prefer Thomas Aquinas' proofs, but in fairness he did it deliberately.

    I think you've created your very own philosophy here, which we might call "objective subjectivity". I don't think it really works, but it's an interesting idea. Here's the thing though - if none of its true anyway, why do you prefer one version to another ?

    I take the view that there is such a thing as the objective truth,and that all the rest is either a lie or a mistake.

    I also take the view that examining philosophy too closely is at the best of times the road to the mad house, but if these people here are correct about you and I being the same person arguing and conversing with each other , we have a serious mental illness.

    That's by the by, but here's my proof in this question. A number of people here have versions of the truth regarding whether you and I are one in the same - I have mine, you have yours, and they have theirs. However , one version is not only true, but by virtue of that disproves your suggestion that all versions are lies !
    Interested to hear what Wales-Bales' truth is.

    In answer to the question, I consider myself Christian and attend church every week. It works for me. Try it.

    When you separate fact from fiction, it can lead to a greater understanding of the world. Religion is not the only fiction, but people like to focus on it as it makes them feel smart when they declare to the world that god is not real. However, many facets of our life are not real, they are also fictions. In reality they are just stories, and people will argue about different versions of these stories. That's why I always focus on the storyteller, because it will tell you a lot about the story.
