Understanding, and relating to it are to different things. While I can understand the analogy I can't argue a position I can't relate to with any authenticity so I don't.
That's the argument you want to have. Wrong thread for it though.

Naah. I am just gonna just mention some philosophers, irrelevant or not, believing others have never read them and feel I am superior like you.I have a lot of faith.
You are a great God who knows the hears of people too mikkel. So you know exactly the opposite of whats in someones heart. Good God.
I actually learn sometimes from you. But you are just to much with your version of correct understanding.

No they cant. At least for as long as it lasts.
I was a theist once myself, so I know just how incredibly strong that beliefs can be. For some, I'd wager its probably impossible to break out of that mental hold.

Lol. mikkel. The argument is vain, when the argument the poster is making has gone past the fundamental and is claiming "I dont need God". It's silly if there is a God already. It's just like a brat saying I don't need my parents living in the house they made.
That's why this kind of argument is nonsensical. Unless the providence for the foundation is already assumed. It's simple.
Hope you understand.

The same goes for any worldview that offers a feeling of being better than other humans. That is not limited to religion.

Yeah, if there is a God. If...

That was the whole point mikkel. So the assumption is already made God does not exist. If that assumption is already made, why in the world would any one speak about God. God does not exist.

It could be. Depending on how such views weigh against actuality.

There is no objective actuality, because with 2 humans there are 2 contexts and 2 different actualities.

But one reality.
People just have various interpretations, some accurate, some not.

No, there are no one reality, because we are not one. That is that simple.
Further if there is just one reality, then how can there be various interpretations, because then reality is not one. How can we disagree if there is one reality?

Oh be assured there is one reality. There are no backwards, diagonals, or sideways,. Only forward with no stopping it.

Reality is not an it. It is not a thing as one thing.
Here are some parts of it. We disagree and that is happening in reality. Not one reality, in reality.

Consider 'it' as a placeholder term. Like dark matter.

For the totality of real things and events. But in that, there are many things and events.

Thanks, I need God's help.
Sometimes I think "I am quite a handful for God", but of course for God, being Omnipotent, helping me should not be much of a trouble

You go to hospital doctors, so you are as needy as I am. Just a different doctor
Well, I surrendered to Sai Baba (God) ca. 30 years ago, telling Him "If you are God, I surrender to you and you can do with me as you think is best. And then I surrender my health problems into your hands, you be my doctor"
Good part is that my doctor costs nothing.
No need for covid jabs is a plus too
I did not say "I worry".
I just need Sai Baba His help, without it I would be dead now. And I would have had lots of pain; with my kidney trouble, painkillers are not a good option.
I guess you use pain meds if needed. Well that luxury I don't have

Yeah, well, seeing that he maintains your existence, I think you actually need him very badly..

There are as many realities, as there are participants in the restless emergence of this dynamic universe.
Certainly no human observer is in a position to appoint himself arbiter of what is accurate. Cultures and societies tend to do this collectively, but all that means is that those things are deemed accurate, which gain the widest acceptance in any given culture.
