Then again, what if god(s) reveal to me that I am the chosen agent of the apocalypse and that I should pursue a twin career in biotechnology and nuclear power? Should I trust that and follow through? Plenty of people blowing themselves and others to bits these days utterly convinced they are doing gods work. Yes but how I would handle it is unknown and as I could never prove it to anyone else I would likely become a recluse and live with my “blessing”. The logical flaw there however is that the experience no matter how convincing to me cannot be evidenced to anyone else! So, either god(s) give me an earthshaking revelatory moment of truth that I can’t ever prove to anyone else which is frankly cruel and sick as it leaves me with an experience I cannot prove to anyone else or far more likely that it is simply just a vivid dream or a product of my highly active imagination. Therefore any such experience would be clear and unrefutable by any means. If I were to have a truly religious epiphany then of course I would accept it as real because the assertion from theists is that god(s) are perfect and infallible. It’s about testing your assumptions and ideas to see if they stand up logically. That’s why courts operate on a system of burden of evidence. I choose reason and probability based on verifiable evidence because everything else is unverifiable personal testimony and humans are proven to be notoriously unreliable when it comes to personal testimony. Criticise away but bring some evidence to the table that is verifiable or it will be considered like an earlier reply to me that you made that you are simply “making a joke” I have encountered nothing in that process that says to me “Yes! That’s a God right there”.

I contemplate and wonder and reason just like everyone else. Yes, I do agree and I've been meaning to say it so many times. Really if you had an INNER experience, an epiphany or something would you believe?Īnd I think it is always beneficial to encourage people to try to have inner experiences in order no to believe so much at their onw 'load of poppycock' The problem is that if a non believer has the same INNER experience with a a believer they will still remain in their atheist position just because they don't trust themselves. You are not obligate to do so, but if you like to the path is inside you. If you would like to have a conversation with that supernatural being you should search for it. What would you choose really? (never said choose Christianity)Īgree. If you can't actually address the criticisms of the things you re saying, stop repeating yourself. I said if someone evidence of existence the ONLY way is to look inside you.
