I have converted to Christianity

RE: I have converted to Christianity

Quote:I do not reject atheism
Atheism simply means 'without' theism.

Quote:Christianity makes more sense of the world than any other perceptual framework.
And has absolutely no explanatory power. Did you know that? Also it doesn't explain how anything works. How things came to be. It explains nothing.

Quote:I have come to the conclusion that unconditional love is the key to everything. Explaining emotions by immensely complex neural biochemical reactions in the brain does not even come close to the profound subjective experience of such.
You don't like the fact that emotions are caused entirely by chemical reactions so you reject it and go for a more pleasant (more desirable) yet unrealistic explanation. That is irrational.

Quote:For instance, arrogantly asserting that spiritual individuals are delusional/hallucinating; it is such a simplistic explanation for an enormously complex situation
You're supposed to stick to simple explanations until there is evidence for the complex. It's not just Occam's razer, it's logical procedure.
Simple explanations are far more likely to be correct than more complex ones.

Perhaps you are meant for religion after all....

It fills the void but not with knowledge. Just a baseless assumption. Better off putting a question mark there instead, at least that way you're being honest about it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
