It states the existential fact - but I wouldn't say it characterizes the actual experience of living.

I am not being a smart aleck when I say that you need to look at that again, Art.
Yes, it states a fact, but I think it states much more than that (even if I weren't religious).
For example, imagine a quiet coffee house where a poet stands up. The crowd is completely silent. Then, with a sure voice, full of power, the two words.
I AM.
Now, as an audience member, do you brush them off or do you explore, "Just WHAT did he mean by THAT??"
