What is real?
I looked at a post of mine and saw some real weird stuff downthread. Like "reality of the mind' and other stuff. So... what do you accept as real or part of reality? I read stuff like--if God came down and dahdahdahdah. . .I would believe. This is as crazy as blind belief. The LAST thing I would think is that I was witness to some miracle-vs-I, through my senses, misinterpreted happenings. We give ourselves too much credit.

1. A thing is real if it continues to exist after you stop believing in it.
It is hard for me to think of a "miracle" that couldn't just be some kind of advanced technology - including the ability to create perceptions in someone else's mind.
