Nobody is a philosopher these days because no one thinks conceptually anymore. Imagination is a concept, just as God is a concept, but it's one thing to imagine a God exists, it's quite another to God a God exists. You following me?
And so if you can't think conceptually, how can you possibly know what reality is? Most people think that if you believe or understand science, you are thinking realistically. But you're not. You're merely believing the concepts someone else is thinking about. So you're not existing in your own mind, you're existing in someone elses mind. Which means you are only a figment of their imagination. So atheists, if you exist enough to hear me, Richard Dawkins is your God because you exist within his conscious thoughts, not your own.
And so of course you can't understand what God is, because God is not a what. The problem is that if it is an object at all, which it's probably not, our minds are pointed in the wrong direction to begin with.

You put that brilliantly. Wow, I am honestly awed. No one can reply to that reasonably and be right... wow. You're good.

It's an age old assertion. Reality is an illusion.
The logical problem with this statement is: if it is true, it can't possibly be true. A falsidical paradox is created. Remember, it's just an illusion.
Even if you forgive the paradox (illogical as it may be), any contention made after the initial statement is rendered impotent. If reality is an illusion, you have no benchmark to gage the validity of any logic scheme you create.

Thats interesting.
But isnt life just a concept created by something else, this universe?
We are only a cingular dot of nothingness in this universe that designed us. : D
Our existence is so simple, really.

The quality of your argumentations and conclusions are astonishing. You're sure you aren't a rocket scientist that's gotten lost in the web?

Everybody is a philosopher. They form their own opinions and think for themselves.

Why do I get the impression that you are not asking a question but just preaching away?

I dig the way you think.
even though there was no question to really reply to. I think that is putting responsibility into peoples lap.
