Your concept of “fact” is worthless, which makes your opinion of what is fact worthless by default.

The truth and perception of it is not worthless, it's the only way for guidance.

You need to stop confusing your personal subjective truth with realistic objective truth.

You are the ones confused because you play silly games with the most fundamental objective truth.

Now you're just being intentionally obtuse. You know very well that religious faith is very far from any recognized objective truth.

Does he think just ranting over and over, “god is really real” is supposed to convince us?

Because God's guidance is the only true guidance possible, without there is no such thing as guidance, which would mean morality and justice are delusions. The true nature of his light and proof is the witness of our time, the name of God that took on form of a human.

I really think you're deluding yourself, MK.  I think you're talking to an imaginary being who lives only in your mind and in the minds of other believers, and you just pick and choose whatever guidance you want to believe is true.

In effect, you're being guided by your own opinion as to what "good guidance" should be.

I really want to know what happened too. I'm confident someone got to him, probably by exploiting his vulnerability. It seems to me that this is all a way of not properly dealing with important issues that plague him. I wish he would discuss those real issues with someone who won't insert religious propaganda into their replies. Maybe no such person exists that he can talk to in person, even what passes for "mental health professionals". So it might have to be with an online acquaintance.

I think it's his only way out of this spiral. I hope he eventually confides in someone.
Feel free to send me a private message.

1953.

It's the opposite, I was creating reality by desires, but when I came back to Islam, it was accepting God's proof and name as is.
