Is belief in God a choice
#14
RE: Is belief in God a choice
Okay....

Personal experience is not evidence though, and hallucination however improbable it may 'seem' is more likely than the alternative!

You know about over 70,000 people once claiming to see the Sun crash to the earth in Portugal Fatima?

Insane, yes...but the alternative to it being an opitical illusion of some kind, or even a 70,000 people mass hallucination - the alternative to it having actually happened...is obviously as close to impossible as anything is. The sun is still here....and for it to fall down and pop back up...I mean... that's extremely improbable if you want the understatement of the century lol.

Hallucinations - or some other possibility unthought of - are far more probable than the alternative, and personal experience of these things, are not evidence...but if you believe you believie lol :S
