I was being philsophical!
How about: 'This house believes there is no god, only an inverse reflection of the human condition'?
Looks like you and me Simpo. How about: 'This house believes there is no god, only an inverse reflection of the human condition'?
Will have a think and post this evening.

I tried this on PH when I first joined up.
I postulated that the 'subject & object' metaphysics which is the norm for the way we are taught to think is fundamentally flawed.
I suggested that a metaphysics of quality as described by Pirsig was a much better framework on which to hang our understanding of the world around us.
I didn't get very far.... but I'm still a huge fan of Pirsig's work, you can read about it here.
A little Googling will find you the full book in PDF - well worth 10 or 20 reads; I threw out all the Readers Digests, and this is the only book on the shelf in the toilet!

It is obviously quite intense so needs much more than a quick look.
I find that if one reads to much on this subject one tends to become too influenced by the theories of others.
I am more interested in debating with others on a more personal and original way.
If you like a bit of mind gymnastics.
