[quote=Anonymous][quote]And yet, we know that there is some objective phenomenon out there that maps to "blue". That's because, notwithstanding a small percentage of humans with a physical condition, people largely agree about the color "blue". This is actually pretty obvious. If you and I are looking at something blue, and a third guy comes along and we ask what color it is, without a hint, he'll say blue. So it's nowhere near as ambiguous as you make it seem.

Anyway, this whole "you can't put a microscope on 'love'" is a bit of a distraction. You can't put a microscope on fun, disappointment, or ennui, either. Do they exist? They're not evidence of the ineffable mysteries of the cosmos. Again, they're poetic license applied to emotional states. Hooray for those states! Still not evidence god exists, though. [/quote]

No, but it is examples of little things in every day life that most humans accept on faith.  Because that is really what it is - you accept on faith that love exists, that others experience it.  That blue is blue to others.  It really isn't a stretch to apply that to God.  God is as real to some people as love is to you.  THAT is the point.  You don't need evidence love exists to believe in it.  And others don't need evidence God exists to know he exists.  [/quote]
