from It's All Real
  • See weird naturalism and "God" ≡ God. This is a version of the same thought. It seems so obvious, so dumb, so profound. Of course ideas and idea-like things are real, in the sense that they have real effects on us. What else would they be?
from My philosophy which is mine
  • Ideas are real, and thus gods, spirits, abstractions like "justice" are all real. Not real as in chair-in-front-of-you real, but real in that they have a real presence in and effect on the human mind. (see "God" ≡ God)
    • This seems like a simple and obvious truth, but the implications are staggering and unclear.
    • Despite it sounding like woo, it is extremely compatibile with the art of computation, which is all about taking abstractions and making them real.
from Weird Studies/From Hell
  • Very excited by this episode, before even hearing it. Alan Moore was an early entry on my request list and also probably the most influential guy on me breaking away from simpleminded atheism (see "God" ≡ God ).
from God Without Being
  • Stumbled across this book randomly at a used book store. Seems to resonate with my current theology view "God" ≡ God.
from panrealism
  • A term I apparently invented for the position that essentially everything is real, including ideas, patterns, gods. "God" ≡ God is a special case. Also applies to things like selves and free will – sure, they are real, if not in quite the same way as rocks and chairs. They are real because we can and do refer to them. They may be closer to ghostly images on a screen than actual matter.

"God" ≡ God

    • My compact notation for Alan Moore's theological insight that there is no difference between God and the idea of God, and since the latter is obviously perfectly real...
    • Note: this has killed my atheism (which now seems as misguided as theism) but I am not really sure what has replaced it.
