    Snorting God?

    Here's where the argument of subjective reality vs. objective ontology comes into play. Bertrand Russell posited the idea of "solipsism," in which one's reality is directly proportionate with the mind's handling of "sense data" (i.e. smell, taste, sight, sound, etc.), and the interpretation of...
