Mythology

Where is the line between real and fake. I would say right between your eyes. Get hit in the head hard enough you come up an English Accent. Get God in your Head Your No longer Insane. But Who Says Who's God If there is No Authority, then there is No God. JESUS is the Authority. The FATHER is the Authority. The Holy Spirit is the Authority.

Yeah, fuck yeah!

Or maybe not, fuck that!

Or who knows--maybe so, maybe not?

There's a few medical cases where patients with head injuries seemed to speak with a foreign accent afterwards. Sometimes it's because they spoke that foreign language growing up, and they've damaged the part of their brain that mastered their new accent and regressed back to an earlier mental state; sometimes it's because they've just acquired a certain speech impediment that happens to sound like a Dutch accent or whatever... I dimly recall that there was a case of this sort of thing floating around the news recently, I imagine that's where he got the reference.

"Where is the line between real and fake."

Or: how does one know what is real and what is fiction?

Here's one test: ask yourself if the thing you're wondering about continues on if all humans cease to be.

If you answer 'yes, that thing I'm wonderin' about will be around even if all humans are not' then what you have is 'real'.

If you answer 'no, that thing I'm wonderin' about will not be around if all humans are not' then what you have is 'fictional'.

Examples of real stuff: trees, water, dirt, air, etc.

Examples of fictional stuff: any religion, any politics, any philosophy, any morality, any ethic, etc.

hq, you're confusing fictional with abstract or intangible.

God is not physically real. God is spiritually true. And truth is in the eye of the Authority. And the Authority is us.

"God is spiritually true."

What does 'that' mean?

Is Santa Claus 'spiritually true'?

#

"truth is in the eye of the Authority"

No. Truth is what is real and requires no 'authority' to validate it.

##

"Jesus and Nothing But Jesus"

Ishkabibble.

It means whatever you want it to mean, which makes it your truth, and truth is in the eye of the beholder (authority).
