Question to those who do or do not doubt Christianity

Quote:

If we talk about things for which we have sound evidence for then things change. Example would logic lead you to believe that a NASA rocket engineer's knowledge may mean nothing at all when it comes to rockets?

Why does it have to change? Who says that it should? Why is it deemed OK to change? Why is it thought that others should also embrace this thinking?

I formulated my reply so it came from me, not trying to dismissing that everything about us is connected to others.

It is kind of hard to reject something that you see no evidence for existence.

Well I am not sure why you would be interested in this but I will give it a shot.

I could be wrong about this but just as some theist believe they have been abducted by alien so may have some atheist. Keep in mind that I could be wrong about atheist being abducted by aliens because I have never heard of such a thing.

Maybe I should use a condition such as schizophrenia that affects both theist and atheist alike. Higher criteria people? I guess you would be referring to someone like Steven Pinker, David Eagleman or maybe Patricia Churchland.

I personally do not know of any material on the subject of atheist having mental illness from anyone I think has outstanding research but there are common people like myself that share their own experience of schizophrenia and their view points on the matter.

If you truly do want to see closely as I see, then take the time and read or watch the things I share with you.

These are some atheist who suffer from schizophrenia.

How I feel as a Schizophrenic Atheist.

It changes because we go from believing to understanding what makes thrust. We could believe that God will send down angles from heaven and lift a rocket into space but it probably will not take off. Sound evidence should always take precedence to beliefs.

But since I asked you, and you explained, I am gonna read it right now...

What would you actually say, if this God did this one day?

Thank you for reading what I shared with you Ryan, I think that you might find that atheist have also experienced similar experiences as you. "not identical because we are all different and no one is identical to you not even another theist

I know that this is not the type of music that you have shared with me in the past but I was curious if it was moving to you?

Well I must admit mate...I do not see what I experience is similar to what any of those atheists have said they deal with...mate, but it was interesting to read...I respect the fact, you believe or think I have these differences... Similar to what they do...But there is no easy way for me to explain how I think we are different...

there is no easy way for me to explain how I think we are different.

With these experiences I have...

I do not suffer from them...

They are blessings...

They seem to help me, And not take control over my life...

They are not things that make me suffer...And make my life more difficult to realize reality,

But enables me to understand things at a higher level than I ever could...And is very Beneficial...

Though I understand you said not everyone is the same...Not even theists...

I think I am completely different, than everyone who you think has these issues...Whether they are an atheist, or theist...

OK so you seen where atheist also believed in God some times but how do you find yourself different from them? Is it because you always believe in a God? How are these atheist different than you in the way you think?

Are you 100% sure about this and if so could you elaborate how your thinking is empirically true?

Do you think that atheists are unable to think that this is true sometimes their self?

So you do agree with what I said no one is identical to you?

I can't answer that, as I do not think like they do...And can not understand how they would believe in God...But be an atheist...as well

There is no way for me to prove that to you for your own satisfactions...You would have to trust me, or believe it is incorrect...As it requires faith to find God himself...You know this already...

I do not know, can they? What is beneficial to them? Hearing God, and being an atheist, seems to me, that it does not help them, but only impacts that part of distorting reality like you have said you believe that it does...

I am not sure that anyone is Identical to anyone else...If that is what you mean...As far as people who have this illness...And them not being the same, I would have to trust you, or read their experiences to come to a solid conclusion about their experiences...mate...

I do not know, can they? What is beneficial to them?

Mate, I understand you opinions, views and concerns...I really do...And it is cool with me if you believe I have these differences or have some sort of problem like you believe they do...As I am not gonna stop being your friend, and I see no reason why you would chose to do that either...

You are not really looking for me to have parallels...But I think a part of you would like me to acknowledge something I am not going to do, because I do not believe it is the same thing, as what you have said, showed me in videos, and what I read from those posts...And I have told you why...But I almost feel like you would like to be right about this...Because it would prove to you, that what you believe I have, is the same as what they do...Although we are not the exact same...

And I understand your views about the distortion of reality, and how it can be problems...And I am telling you I understand what you are saying, and I think that this does not happen...And have explained why...

And if I say it does not hinder me, that is all that is important? Correct? And it should not really matter if I have a difference or do not...Unless it becomes a problem...Has it?

So you can only trust me, or you can only believe I am incorrect in my distorted reality thinking...

But by me saying what I have about how I understand and such, should show you, that no matter if you try to link the 2, if they are not the same, or equal, it can't be done..

And once again, even if I was a person with a difference...If you are not willing to take my word about my own experiences, and are interested in telling me how I could be right or wrong and why, and you do not experience it yourself, but believe that I do...There is no reason to continue to talk about it...I think by me saying things to you, you could see how they do not seem to be the same...But how you may have an interest in trying to make them seem that way...Though I am sure you do not wish for anyone to actually be sick...But people do also like to be correct at times...Where they do not realize these kinds of things, and this too distorts reality...And I would never say that you have a difference yourself...Get my point?

I respect your opinions...But I disagree...

Even though we may disagree I find it fascinating that we are still able to be friends.

I do think that we all would like to be right but I do realize that we may be wrong sometimes. Do you think this same way about there being a God or do you think that you are empirically correct about there being a God?

Does this also include the distortions that the atheist experience or only what you think is distortion?

Do you think that I should also except what the atheist say when they think that they were in a delusional state of mind?

Please explain how you know this to be true.

I do not get your point completely but I do value what you share.
I respect you too.

And I understand your views about the distortion of reality, and how it can be problems...And I am telling you I understand what you are saying, and I think that this does not happen...And have explained why...

I am not sure mate...As I do not know what their experiences truly are, as I can not experience it myself...And I believe that we are not the same...I do not know that I believe it is distortion one way or the other, like you seem too...When you can not experience what you believe a psychosis is...And I personally believe that may not be being self-honest myself....

The atheists shared what they thought was distorted such as his pillow talking to him and telling him to wake up. He said he burnt his pillow after that another person said that he thought that he was God and the list goes on.

My question to you is, do you think that they may be correct in claiming that they are having delusions at times even though it seems real?

My question to you is, do you think that they may be correct in claiming that they are having delusions at times even though it seems real? And if they take their meds the delusions go away. It seems that sleep deprivation can also be a culprit.
