"Hummph!", Scarlett cried with indignation to which Rhett replied, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Oops, it looks like I missed this one! ... No doubt because I didn't bother to change the page. Hmm ... So, would that be comparable to say, "You don't give a rat's ass?"

I said external in relation to you, to your senses. It's again a matter of referencial.
For me, there is no absolute. Reality, as I said, is only the interaction between external (to us) stimulus and our senses and mind. All our knowledge comes from the experience. I claim we can not have any rational understanding of non-physical entities, like god or soul. More, they have no meaning.
Atheists are wrong when they claim god doesn't exist. I can say unicorns don't exist, goblins don't exist. But no god, or soul. Because god or soul are words without meaning. They make no sense.
We live in a reality made of relations. There is no absolute, this word has also no meaning. Unless, of course, you can give a definition of absolute. Or of god or soul.

You're welcome.
