This is like the argument about fluid, free will vs. mechanistic predestination.

Some days, back in my HS & college days, it really did feel like I was the only REAL person. When I was depressed, I actually wondered at one point, if I was in purgatory or Hell, and others were some kind of spiritual construct..
Glad I got over that, it gets creepy FAST!

Sincerely,
Matthew

This religious paradox would be reconciled if people acknowledged and accepted what they were made to be.

I'm not fooled. Most people I know are holograms. I have to jiggle them to get them to do anything new.
