Do I qualify for "Agent of Satan " status as an Atheist? That title is all kinds of awesome.

Sure. I'm all for people choosing whatever label they think applies (to themselves), heh.

haha. Thats the most annoying thing I could think of.

Agreed. I read a very interesting article in National Geographic about that.

Quoting Talk is Cheap:“ I swear God you sound like my Philosophy professor..lol I heart you. He would always make me think about ... [snip!] ... a baby.... Sorry for rambling..lol but to answer the question I agree that there is nothing that we can be a100% certain of.”

Really you have never thought about this stuff? If everyone sees pink when you see pink?, or if its just a different shade? Or thought about how people who halucinate "think" they are seeing something to them it's the truth, what if we all just "think" things are a certain way and assume everyone agrees and it's not even that way at all? Sorry I've just thought about this so many times,I thought everyone did.

100% percent is math that is supose(sp) to be the universal constant. If all the information you recive on a subject equals 100% than it's true. 1+1=2, 2+2=4 Math is the true constant, everything else is perspective. A rose by any other name is still a rose.

In all honesty no I didnt.lol. But after taking a philosophy it kind of opened my eyes to alot of things.

ya I've always had really abstract thinking I guess. lol

Quoting God:“ This subject came up in another thread, and I wanted to give it its own thread. The subject of being ... [snip!] ... rely on that 100% of the time, so how can we be 100% certain that anything we believe IS what it actually IS? Thoughts? C.”

You remind me of my old Philosophy teacher in college.

If we don't exist, neither does math.

That aside, 1+1=2 to us, what does it equal to an outside observer, say to our planet? They would have their own system to measure things. Therefore, math cannot be a universal constant, only a human constant.

I remember my bestfriend used to always tell me that our bodies where just an illusion an we are really souls walking around and it's all in our minds.

AHHH to measure is human that is lenght, time, volume. inch, second. gallon that is human. Math is universal 1 is 1, 2 is 2, 1 is not 2, 1 is not 1.1, 2 is not 1.1, and 0 is nothing.

How do you know that 1 is 1?
