1) Does God Make Sense?

Does God create sense? Or is the notion of God sensible? I always respond - blithely - that the narrative of empirical truth is not necessarily commensurable with the notion of spriritual, or theistic, truth. In fact, I'm not entirely convinced that a truth as understood in post-enlightenment terms even exists for theism.

3) Why is Consciousness So Mysterious?

There are no places to stand to move the world; likewise, there is no alterity to consciousness, except refracted through others, whose consciousness we may percieve but not appertain. The ubiquitous is always mysterious

5) Are Science and Religion at war?

Anyone who understands either to any level beyond the superficial would realise they are not.

7) Arguments For/Against the Existence of God

Personally, I think it shows a certain failure of character to use proofs as a weapon.

10) Is God Necessary?

I suspect others disagree, but I think that if God is necessary to some people, God is necessary.

13) Is Consciousness Entirely Material?

No.

14) Can the Brain Explain the Mind?

Yes. The success or otherwise is moot; in fact, the mere notion of explaining it is adequate for the human mind to conceptualise it, a reification that's fine by me (did I steal that from Kant or did Kant steal that from Plato?)

15) What Things Really Exist?

Well, what is the nature of reality? Is it really necessary to prove reality? That's not to say that reality is immediately self-evident (although, effectively, it is) but this argument always seems to implicitly suggest that there is a bifurcation between ontology and the abstract, which I don't agree with.

I left out the shit questions.
