No, because they are different for me.
Is one way of expressing the difference to say :-
- in relation to God, the believer has experiences that suggest to him or her that there is an external entity independent of him or herself.
- in relation to the IPU, nobody has any experience of this kind because the IPU concept has been invented to make a point.
Someone who has an experience of the first kind will not accept that their God is equivalent to an IPU.
