Anto,
Nice post, you're wicked smaht, by your verbosity you must be right. When I read these giant word gushes that seem so prevelent here I kind of approach them like a black jack card counter would at a vegas casino. The redundancies I just stack together to make a sum of one entry because restating a thesis does not strengthen it.
This latest rant of yours contradicts other statements you have made and sounds like buddhism to me with no need of god at all (Be neither attracted or repeled, the world is just a side effect of the observed interacting with the observer).
You are arguing that your god is imaginary so yay we agree. Earlier you said, "...by giving up that life, we gain new life and a new, free will, the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of Creation" so when you say that I assume that you believe in Intelligent Design because you said it by hinting at the spirit of creation, but that is not central to my point. I am just trying to figure out how you allign your will with god.
You seem to find use for god and his will gives meaning in your life. I would put forth that YOU give the only meaning that you need and you lean on god only with the hope of giving yourself power through authority. If god is just some mental model and you don't believe in his objective reality then you might as well free yourself from religious ideas altogether.
The fact that you can't remember how you experienced god is very dissapointing to me. I am left thinking you ARE just an asylum wackjob or more probably a lier who just doesn't want to seem like an asylum wackjob. I'm always ready to read and even try new things.
Wikipedia is not an acceptable source of information, it is a good start but you are trying to finish our argument with it. You are saying that some objects of the mind are real therefore ALL objects of the mind exist which is a fallicious statement.
You've already conceded that you believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn (BBHH) and the FSM so the next logical step is to realize that ALL of them are objects of the mind, NONE of them are real, and then you can move toward a more evidence inspired life instead of chasing fairys.
