Reflection // Connection 3

I was very intrigued while reading this portion, particularly on Hume's philosophies regarding ideas, imagination, etc. He basically divided the things that cross our minds into ideas and impressions, and both can be simple or complex. Impressions are something we take in directly from the world, and then a complex idea could be something like an angel. I liked the idea of this, because if we really boil it down simply, impressions are like the "legos" that build up in our mind to form a structure, or an idea. I disagreed with Hume's position on God, however. He believed that knowledge of god is beyond human reason. While knowing if there is definitely a god may be impossible, I think that humans do have enough power and reason to decide if we think there is one. This really applied to my life because I myself am always constantly torn and I am trying to find my spiritual beliefs regarding the existence of God.
