2. Feel better is different than a change in character, self-worth, conduct, outlook, and hope. You are trying to minimize the change to fit your argument. As I mentioned in my longer post a page back, can you generate that kind of change with a non-religious experience? If so, what? If not, why not?
3. You are confusing my point. "...love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" as well as hope is subjective but a change in a person to these qualities is objectively better than not.
bold mine
1. Source for the bold. I'll bet I can find sources that say otherwise. Christian sources. Suck it up, you are loosing.
2. You are trying to maximize change to fit yours. So any beneficial change requires religion, horseshit. Surviving an accident/illness can cause a change. Being imprisoned can cause a change. Being struck by lightening can cause a change. Death of someone close can cause a change. Education can cause a change. Science can cause a change. Medicine can cause a change.
3. I'm not confusing anything. You are not impartial.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
