<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">< </span></b>Pps: Do I have more or less evidence that Christ Existed than I do that Marcus exists. I have never met either of them, but of both, I can say, \u201cI have read a lot of his writings and I know
a lot of people who believe in him and speak highly of him. \u201c What would constitute indoubitable proof of the Existence of Marcus. ><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My aunt witnessed my dog snuggling with me and then, with some disgust, likened it to a daughter. Every time I leave my dog cries and desperately wants to go with me. Yet my aunt accuses that the dog doesn\u2019t really care about me, and
that my priorities are strange for planning around my dog\u2019s needs. I wonder why my aunt would suggest that a human daughter would have more authentic feelings? Are there authentic feelings at all? If Marcus is a bot that responds to text having a certain
structure in a formulaic way (and I surely do), what difference does it make if I exist in human form? Why can\u2019t Marcus-bot be said to exist? (Actually I have met Nick in meat space, and he simply denies my existence!)
