Why is there anything? (Introduction)
> > You SO get my point but you also don't get my point. You can't be "against" [or resist] something that doesn't exist. There is existence. There is nothing else.[/b] > > I didn't say that, you did. Nothingness must surround God and the universe. > > -How can nonexistence surround anything?-[EDIT]-Let's go back to Sagan's pink dragon. The pink dragon does not exist. We can both agree on that. -Your argument "Nothingness must surround God and the universe" turns nonexistence into an object. We can freely interchange the pink Dragon with "void," "nothing", and "nonexistence." Explain to me how "nonexistence" can "surround" something, without being interchangeable with Sagan's Pink Dragon.

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"
\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
