Concepts are composed idea. We experience concepts when we compose the ideas.

I participate in debate to learn more about how others think.
This in turn influences my perceptions of other theologies and philosophies, and at times has influenced my own religious philosophy.
Also defending ones own ideas encourages one to learn more about what one is defending.
I have also been educated, and attempt to educate.
It's not all about 'winning and losing'.

How does one physically experience a concept?

It would be a lot more satisfying that way, wouldn't it?
A debate can go on and on indefinitely if:
a) No one ever concedes defeat
b) No one ever withdraws
c) No one acknowledges a "point" made by the opponent

It's not whether one wins or loses, but how pathetic you can make the other guy's argument look.

Here here.
I've toyed with the idea of doing that here as a one-on-one debate. I do formal debating in RL and I would like to figure out some way to translate the concept to the online world.
If you're interested, maybe we could decide on a topic, format and scoring method, and then have a quick one-on-one debate on something.
One doesn't. Empirical experiences are physical. Mental experiences are mental.
Edit: I worded that poorly. "Mental" is the empirical experience of thinking, so both are empirical. I should have said physical experiences are empirically physical, and mental experiences are empirically mental.

Sounds like a fun idea. At the Oxford (or is it Cambridge?) debates they score by taking a vote before and after. Whomever changed more people's minds wins.

btw, isn't the OP just one long argument in favor of agnosticism?
They are one. And two.

It's not double-speak. It's not incoherent.
It's not even something a child wouldn't understand. Children get changing perspective. They're very good at it.

So that old coin in the box thing has been pasted and copied a lot more extensively throughout the internet than I first thought. He has been busy paste and copying it everywhere I am not sure what point he is trying to make trolling away with this because when I first read it I just thought he was confusing atheism with solipsism.

God does exist, as a belief. Beyond that I can't be bothered to argue anymore except to say that the behavior of those that do hold a believe in God are being observed by scientists, so
