249. Reality
The discussion concerning emotions came about, I think, because someone said something like "God is not real. Real things are things I can touch, feel, hear, smell, or taste". Not the exact quotation, but what I tookl the person who posted it to say.

My response was: Is Love Real? I don't think I can touch, feel, smell, hear, or taste love. If God is not real because a person cannont use one of her/his five senses to experience God, then love, also is not real, it seems to me.

I guess from your post you would call the whole experience of what we call reality or consciousness chemical, am I right?
