Well, if that's what you really believe about consciousness, then ok, we are worlds apart, since I know trees are living, but last I heard, they don't do much thinking. At this point, have a nice day.
It's been an interesting conversation, but as I said, we are worlds apart in recognition of what "I" consider reality. 
They do and they act. Yeah, we are worlds apart. Have a nice day or night, whatever.Well, if that's what you really believe about consciousness, then ok, we are worlds apart, since I know trees are living, but last I heard, they don't do much thinking. At this point, have a nice day.
Lol if a tree hits me I don't think it thought about it. But anyway... it's been interesting.They do and they act. Yeah, we are worlds apart. Have a nice day or night, whatever.
consciousness of trees at DuckDuckGo
Not yours? (but anyway, that's the insurance company's figuring usually, either way -- you don't believe in God anyway, so out goes your argument that trees think.
)
How about the wind? Or an earthquake? Maybe they're "responsible." Hmmm?
You think earthquakes think???
um...in your consciousness, do you decide when you are an atheist, or a Hindu?
To the best of my knowledge, Hindus are not described as atheists. Just wondering from your self-description.
No, I am a strong Hindu atheist. I will attribute it to probability and uncertainty.Not yours?
On the other hand, if a tree or boulder hits you -- are you saying God did it?
You don't believe in God anyway -- so I'm beginning to think (consciously) that you are playing a nice big game. (Have another nice day.)
Does your God think? Does he have a brain?Hmmm?
Yes, I am a Hindu and a strong atheist. There have been some views in Hinduism which do not accept existence of God (Nireeshwaravada of Samkhya; Vaisheshika, the Hindu atomic philosophy; and some flavors of 'Vedanta'). I believe in a strict form of non-duality, 'Advaita Vedanta', which does not recognize any difference between any two objects in the universe and believes that they are constituted by the same entity. For example, an emperor or a sage and a pebble in the river. Therefore, there is no place for a God or Goddess in my belief - Gaudapada - Wikipedia, Khyativada - Wikipedia.um...in your consciousness, do you decide when you are an atheist, or a Hindu?
Yikes. It's hard for me to fathom what a Hindu atheist is. But! ok ... I can understand how you feel about not believing there is a God (I never thought of God as a goddess, however), because I used to say I don't believe in God. That went on for YEARS. But now I do. May you fare well, that means I hope the best for you.
