It's common knowledge that alot of philosophers end up going insane.Alot of the mental gymnastics involved in philosophy is enough in my view to drive anyone insane.When it comes to religion I dont think that philosophy is the right discipline or venue to argue the issues at hand.There are some things that we just cant explain and I am comfortable with that.I know that in the future those things will come to light or they may forever remain a mystery.I am also aware that when it comes to the paranormal or the metaphysical there has to be something to it but philosophy falls short when it comes to trying to explain it.It's all nothing more than mere speculation.
FvsE my friend I will not get into the Jesus argument now since this forum is not meant for that I just used it as an example.But when it comes to proving a negative I am not so sure that that is a valid argument for anything.The way I see it if the evidence for an argument far out weighs the arguments against then I consider the the former the most valid argument.In the case of Jesus I feel that the evidence for the non existence of Christ far out weighs the evidence against it.
Man in his quest to understand things that are at times beyond his understanding tends to over think and over speculate.That is the result of philosophy I tend to read alot of classical philosophy and am amazed at how many times a writer can tell you for example that the sky is blue.With all the mental gymnastics included he or she can write a 500 page book on the subject and end up where he or she started from.Nowhere.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
