I went through two weeks where it seemed I was an illusion.
We can keep discussing or move on, up to you.
False dichotomy. This mistake has already been pointed out to you. That you continue to make it shows that you don't learn from your mistakes. Largely because you don't want to learn from them. You prefer your special brand of ignorance and delusion to the truth, because your beliefs shield you from truths that you find unpleasant. And the worst part about it is that your fears themselves are not well justified. Many people fear that life is meaningless, but it's an open question whether it actually is or not, so jumping to the conclusion that it is, and from there jumping to embracing the warm comfort of a religious security blanket is simply compounding one error with another. Even if your arguments were not pure crap, we likely wouldn't trust them anyway because in everything you do you prove yourself to be a very foolish person.

It's also worth pointing out that it is that fear which keeps us alive. If we didn't have that fear, none of us would be here. (addressed to Mystic)
So by insulating yourself from that fear, you are actually embracing death, not embracing love. Love cares about it's beloved and fears for it. What you have isn't love.
I think at heart you're just a romantic with a bunch of dreamy notions about love that are based in the Quran and the ignorance of youth. If real love bit you in the ass you wouldn't recognize it. Ask Camoo what love is. She has two children and a successful marriage. She knows. You don't. You're too busy chasing after whatever your peener points at.
Dude...me in a house with three males...it’s a really fine line between love and hate sometimes, and those feelings are most certainly NOT an illusion. 😂❤️
