Bonhoeffer said that if we can't teach theology to children then we don't truly understand it. I agree. It's easy to make things complicated. It's profoundly difficult to make things simple.

What's difficult about theology?

-of course there is grass but it is internal not external to mind and therefore mental and not material since matter as generally accepted matter is an illusion and a bluff - twinc

You are confusing, grass does exists external to the mind, and in the absence of all minds, grass still exists.

the problem is that you even have a problem reading my post correctly besides trying to convince us that grass is green as seen in the light of the sun which is seen to revolve around the earth - but is this really so - twinc

The sun is "seen" to revolve around earth in the same sense that street-lights and tree's are "seen" to move past your car.

Only a poorly educated person who doubt's the laws of logic could be bluffed by such an illusion.

Nothing. Theology is elegantly simple. (Too simple for someone as smart as you ). It's difficult to keep it simple and it's easy to unnecessarily complicate it.

The same could be said about life.

The gospel is simple. Theology is complex--made intentionally so by theologians...they have to earn a living.

I do wonder what the OP is about, then.

why just condemn yourself alone,as uneducated,when most others are also bluffed by general illusions and doubt the laws of logic that anything can be external to mind - it is logical for things to exist and yet not be real - twinc

Of course, like gods, angels, demons, spirits, ghosts, fairies, santa claus, easter bunnies, mickey mouse and spiderman.

Such entities exist, but only within ones imagination.
