Alien Crucifixion Scenario

[I_am_not_mafia]

 I told you that having schizophrenia was a disease not a delusion.

So you're saying that schizophrenics are not delusional?

Before you bog us down in semantics to avoid the point I am making, maybe you can answer the question I posed:

See, here's the problem. You claim to sense Jesus (see? hear? feel?)

A schizophrenic will claim to hear voices.

As someone who experiences neither, how can I tell if either of you really are sensing something external to yourselves or whether you are both claiming this because of how your brains are currently malfunctioning?

Because whether it is your experience of Jesus or the voices in the head of the schizophrenic, whatever it is you think that you are experiencing cannot be sensed or measured by a third party.

If it was a case that all theists experienced the same phenomenon, whether christian, jew, muslim, satanist or pagan, or all schizophrenics were consistent in hearing the same voice saying exactly the same thing, then we would be given more cause to consider that maybe there is something that we have missed.

But it's not.

Simplest explanation until evidence suggests otherwise is that you are both delusional.
