Ideas referred to anything may be true or false...pg307
Locke is suggesting that since we make our own truths that we tend to judge it to be true or false because we perceive it to be true or false according to our judgment. Say god is one of the things that men believe in he will be true and will exist only because we want to make it exist , but not because he really does. this in an obscure way denounces god. he also mentions that if two men share the same idea without communicating to each other then it must be true. however Descartes always said never to trust another mans judgment because we all think differently. so who is right???

I agree with you with the idea that if men kind believe in god, then he must exist. but the part about "if two men share the same idea without communicationg to each other then it must be true!" i totally disagree, i believe in what Decarte said because we think differently.
i Agree with ally i do believe what Decartes said " Never trust another mans judgment because we all think differently" Like i said before in your other blog, We are all different, and we tend to believe different which okay because we all have our own opinion. Now i dont like locke always stating that there is no god is just something we make it exist!!!!
so if god exists how come we all cant realize it and see him??
