ok, i woke up this morning thinking about this.. having a discussion with unknown others in a dream.. so i'll post it here and get ur opinions on it.. i am NOT posting this to start any arguments or debates.. just quiet opinions on the interpretation of my dream.

ok, basically, i was dreaming about the use of the word 'GOD'. Many people believe that 'God' or 'gods' does not exist.. however, the word 'god' is used daily by everyone i've ever met.. they say.... "i dont believe in 'god'... god-damm.. god bless you.. oh god!.. etc etc.." u get the picture.. so.. if there is no such thing as God or gods.. then how does the name exist? doesnt everything that exists.. have a name? can u think of anything that exists, that DOESNT have a name?? Realistically, if something doesn't exist, how can it have a name?

I've heard the same thing about the Devil.. that 'he/she' doesnt exist etc.. however, lots of bad things are blamed on the Devil (as well as on God), and 'it' has a name.. but if the Devil doesn't exist either.. then how can it have a name?

ok, u say that 'some' people believe in God or the Devil, and that is why it has a name.. but .. on the other hand.. if only things which can be proven to exist have a name.. well u see my dilemna.

Another question along the same thought.. 'who' is responsible for proving that something exists? Is there a committee, a group, a single person, that determines if something actually 'exists' or not? If i find a rock in my yard, and have never seen such a rock before.. who do i submit it to to determine if it: 1. exists, 2. has never been proven to exist before, 3. give it a name??

Makes ya think huh?
