How do you know that you exist?

One could argue that in order for "*" to exist, "*" must exist, and therefore all that is required is for "*" to acknowledge that fact. But, the fact is we DON'T exist, we LIVE (only objects exist). Now, here's a tuffy,...how do we know that we aren't figments of God's imagination???????????????


I don't think we are (first of all, who said we know???????????). How would we know anyway? Does it matter? "Total Recall" (the movie) showed the drop of sweat as a telltale sign for the distinction of a machine made life, but we are not machines, we are animate, not inanimate objects.

1) Either which way, we have freewill.
2) The superior force cannot be inanimate (must be greater than us, not less), therefore the superior force cannot simply be a force, but a SPIRIT character/origin.
3) The spirit/origin also made our environment joyfully beneficial for/to us.


The logical conclusion is that the spirit/origin cares greatly for us and has overcome obstacles that prevent joy, but our freewill means that it is our individual choice to sincerely want Him to overcome in each of us.

Voila,...GOD.

the "overcoming" is Jesus and God's spirit (Isaiah 1:18, "Come, let us reason together, says The Lord").
