Do YOU Exist?

Question

Many on this thread ask if God exists. Let's turn the tables.

Do YOU exist? If so, prove it. ...And no babble (oops) Bible verses are allowed as proof.

Let the games begin!

Answer 1

If you prick me do I not bleed? If you tickle me do I not laugh? If you poison me do I not die? And if you wrong me shall I not seek revenge? ............So, if this is true and I can say this to you myself and not through a book then am I not real?Can you not study me?When I die will you not be able to see my bones and rotting flesh?Can you not touch me?

I am real because the answer is yes to all.Yet God has never answered these himself to me.Only in faith shall God exist.

Answer 2

I think, therefore, I AM.

Actually, there was a time when I was young that I wondered if I was only a character in a book. Then I went through a spell of wondering if my reality were REALLY real. What if my senses were telling me I was a normal person living a normal life and instead, I dreamt up the whole thing and completely delusional. If I felt this wall - and it smooth and cool and slighty damp - would that prove this was real or could I imagine that as well? I decided to stop torturing myself; if this is not real, if I'M not real- but I'm enjoying myself anyway, what does it matter?

Answer 3

Well, as people go, as in the five senses, especially sight, yes I do exist. I exist in matter, solids and liquids, and materials we find on the earth. But in the larger scheme of things, I do not exist. To me, existing is being an immortal or important(highly important) idea in the universe. Since I am neither immortal or extremely important(nobody is) then I suspect I do not exist. In truth, I believe only four things exist. Heaven, Hell, Earth, and God. Like the four elements, if you will. Since we are created in heaven by God, then I believe we are mere ideas of his. Then we just piddle around on Earth. And when we die, we do not go anywhere in a bodily form. Therefore, our spirits do somewhat exist, but only as mere ideas. Our bodies however, do not exist. This is a question that you could battle and debate for hours on end, and still never come up with a pleasing answer that suits many people.

Answer 4

I believe I exist... I mean I can talk to other people. But who knows, I mean this could all be one big dilusion and I could really be something totally different. What if I am the only person on the face of the earth? But wait a minute, if i didn't exist... how could i be answering this question?

Answer 5

i think, therefor i am, what i cant do is prove that u exist. everyone can prove that they exist, but can't prove anything else exists, its impossible. anything could be an illusion, of touch, sight, smell, taste, or hearing, therefor nothing exists, but i can prove that i exist, b/c the thoughts in my head must be comeing from somewhere, even if it isn't a human being. the body may not exist, but the mind does, b/c it thinks, hence the phrase "I think, therefor I am"

Answer 6

For me to say I exist, I would have to have faith in my own five senses. Those who claim science are simply members of the church of the five senses.

You are right, there is no way to prove I exist or God exists. However, ask your self how relevant to anyone's life that fact is.

If I had to put money on it I would say both God and I exist. Hopefully you would as well.

Answer 7

No, I do not exist.

None of us do.

This physical incarnation and everything about our lives on the physical plane is simply an elaborate illusion which we will realize upon our "death" and the return of our eternal souls to the true realm of the spiritual, non-physical world.

How to prove it? Die, I guess...

Was this babble? Oh well it is my belief and my babble and now my 2 points, so too bad! :)

Answer 8

Well, in response to your question I just sliced off a finger. It really hurt. A lot. I personally believed that I felt the pain, but then realized something. How do I know that I am actually feeling pain? The something else came to my attention.

HOLY ****! MY F@#$%&# FINGER IS GONE! SOMEBOODY PLEASE CALL THE HOSPITAL! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY THE F#%$ DID I TRY TO RESPOND TO THAT BULL S#@% QUESTION?!! THE PAIN IS INDESCRIBABLE!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

There is no way to prove we exist. If you say we exist, someone could choose to disbelieve. And vice versa.

It is impossible to prove whether or not we exist. It is way too subjective. There is no objective way to study existence.

Answer 10

Do I exist? Well, if I don't, I hope I keep on not existing like I am for a really long time.
