"It's like talking to a brick wall" and "We'll have to agree to disagree" are popular sayings referring to the frustrating experience of discussing issues with people who seem to be beyond the reach of argument.

It begins with a kind of “Biblical Monotheism 101”—answering questions like “What is the Bible?”, “Who is God?”, and “What is The Trinity?”, and goes on to establish that according to the Bible only the Father is God—not His son and not His holy spirit.

We're used to thinking about the self as an independent entity, something that we either have or are. In The Ego Tunnel, philosopher Thomas Metzinger claims otherwise: No such thing as a self exists.
