1. Am right there as well.
Plus, what 'gets' me, personally anyways, is that i have to accept that e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g i *imagine/think or see or feel or what in the heck ever :- ) is brought to me via my senses.
So don't i need to ask myself,
"Self, how good are YOUR senses really?"
Moreover, i go thru my silly little everyday life thinking i sorta really know what is kinda going on;
however, all that stuff that i know is going on i need to understanding is not actual REALity... it is sensory based/filtered/perceived reality.
E.g., is your and my green actually the same green??????
2. Wow.
Kewl thought.
Lemme take a whirl at building an addition onto your thought...
My knee jerk/1st pass thought on this would be that an atheist should be able to conclude that that 'view of life'
(IF you will permit me to call atheism a 'view of life' - i am supposing some might be able to state a fine case that it is not ... & they have probably thought it thru much more than i have ... not sure/dunno)
is analyse-able without any consideration of the existence of a deity.
Seems to me that it needs to be a stand all alone evaluation.
If one concludes atheism is valid.... no further thought needed at that time.
If one concludes atheism is invalid .... i think that leaves one as agnostic if/until some believed in view of life is subscribe to??????
There are different ways to know "what's going on". We can talk about green as a wavelength. The description of the wavelength read by an instrument will appear the same for all of us. Arguing against it would be silly.
