Subject: RE: BS: The God Delusion 2010
Well, whether or not it is delusional it cannot be argued that it is consciousness, since even if if what it is being conscious of is a delusion, the act of being conscious of it is still occurring. The notion that all experience and all experiences are just delusions, and nothing is really experiencing anything is absurd, in my view. The other thing to bear in mind is that agreement on an illusion beings about reality. As long as we can get a consensus about the solidity of solids and the visibility of light and so on, it doesn't much matter whether it is "illusory"/

From what point of view could you sort out whether it was real or illusion? It's a silly circular chase.
