Believing in Deities is a Form of Psychosis

Are you seriously humoring that troll? Well, whatever floats your boat. Never mind the fact that we can perform biological tests to evaluate something as advanced as brain states for various emotional responses and feelings. So while the emotional feeling is subjective, there's evidence galore that it's having an effect on the body consistent with specific types of emotions. Not that shit-eater is capable of comprehending this.

I usually leave the thread when Rik shows up, but in this case, in his replies to me personally, he's been tolerable. Besides, I'm mainly in it for the benefit of the audience, not necessarily the person I'm responding to.

Oh, well........
You been there and done that, isn't it so now you have the solid evidence that spiritual love isn't evidence.

I guess that to be real we got to see, touch, smell, taste and hear even if the party in question is not a physical entity, isn't it MA?
Right?  Huh  

It isn't evidence that the spirit you love is real.

How to prove the reality of a party that can't be seen, touched, smelled, tasted, heard, detected by any instruments devisable by science, or discernible indirectly by effects for which it is the most probably explanation is certainly a conundrum. Imaginary friends share all of those qualities, unless you define them as a specific kind of brain activity. The brain activity is certainly real.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
