Degrees!! Thank goodness! I have to believe that the asshole in front of me in the Suburban Assault Vehicle with all the pro-christian, pro-hate, bumper stickers, being a total tool, just doesn't know any better. (Then I have to have the consciousness not to teach them with a bat at the next stop light)....

No, no, we must accept their point of view as just as valid, and all that entails, such as subjugation of people not as pious as those running the show would like them to be.

Interesting concept.

I agree. There are degrees of it.

Right now, my level of consciousness matches that of a dung beetle.

We exist and god does not.
Consciousness must arise from some structural property of matter.

Well, I don't feel equal to the task of examining the universe to determine whether it has consciousness or not, so apologies for my short response!

Will this result in an end of the she/he god argument?

No, it will just lead to an argument about whether the universe is male or female.

@Coffeo ah yes "women from Venus" - an acid riddled planet. Very appropriate but not representative of the universe.

@FrayedBear Neither is Earth, probably.

Ok... I just call it as I see it. Ain't nothing but a thing.
