Does god exist?

Yes, God exists in minds of people. Then you may ask does it exist in reality? Take a look at this quote from "The Matrix".

"If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

Well, real seems so un-real now. doesn't it? :-)

The most "real" place anything can exist is someone's mind. Since God exists in many (many!!!) minds. It should be more real than you or me.

Neo: I thought it wasn't real
Morpheus: Your mind makes it real

remembers everything I want to forget.

What does 'I' stand for?

No, I am not going to answer that question in this post.

The book I am a strange loop is a search for the answer. I just read 50 pages of it and came up with this thought...

In that book 'being alive' is described as having a set of complex reflexes. Then one of those relexes (one of the strongest) should be a reflex that generates the answer 'I am alive' whenever I ask myself 'Am I alive?'.

"I think, therefore I am"

If truth does not exist, the statement "truth does not exist" is a truth, thereby proving itself incorrect.
