Hi atheists, how do you define existence?

On the issue God exists or not, before anything else all humans must concur on what is existence.

I am theistic and I define existence as reality.

What about you atheists, how do you define existtence?

Hi DDonde, You mean the reality of the letters A/B/C/etc are out there in the sky, or in our mind i.e. we imagine them as pictures of letters in our mental canvas, I would sumbit that the sky and the mental canvas are realities.

But honestly I don't get your point at all except by guess work.

What exactly is your point?

From:

to mean "there is A/B/C/etc out there in reality"

@yrger I phrased it poorly. I mean for anything you can think of, it exists if the the thought of it or perception of it corresponds sufficiently to its presence in reality. I don't really use the word 'exist' when referring to ideas or abstract concepts like truths of logic and math.
