Its been fun but its time to move on. To be honest Im slightly uncomfortable with becoming a regular on the forum, and having expressed my thoughts and explored various ideas I dont want to bore the pants of everyone by continually making the same points. But its been enjoyable and Ive come across some very articulate contributors here.
Of course were all aware that its a subject we are never going to fully resolve, but in one sense the questions are more important than the answers. I read an anecdote (I cant remember the source and so I cant credit the author) where after a long discussion on the concept of self, a worried looking student asked Do I actually exist. The lecturer replied And who wants to know!
Anyway, now its springtime and I must turn my thoughts to motorcycles and give the philosophy of religion a rest. But keep doing what youre doing. Remember we all have something to teach and something to learn.
Regards to you all
