If Drich is saying all atheists have faith on this subject, he is most certainly over-generalizing. I used to believe in the brain-as-a-receiver-of-consciousness idea when I was studying mysticism, but a closer study of the science changed my mind on the topic. I was especially influenced by sleep and dream researcher Dr. Allan Hobson's many books about how the chemistry of conscious states influences their perceived content. The brain-as-receiver idea is entirely uneconomical and unnecessary, given what we now know from brain and consciousness studies.
glob...
I gave conclusive evidence that the brain is both a transmitter and a receiver.
THE ONLY Argument left is the brain remotely controlled.
I then ask if we can prove that it is then what would your beliefs about the after life then be?
NOW listen closely as you missed the first 5 times i said this..
IF... (do you understand "if") IF you go one business as usual or move to attack the messenger rather than properly refute the source message then... you do so as a matter of defending your faith.
Do you understand now?
I
AGAIN, IF I provide scientific evidence that the brain sends and receive a signal from a different place (call it, a different dimension call it heaven call it the matrix or whatever your twist is) and despite this hard scientific evidence that I could produce, you continue to believe as you do now despite the scientific proof provided... You do so as a matter of faith.
