Science and religion

[jstrodel]

You don't have any evidence to support your belief that I am psychotic. That is a way that you justify your belief system. You have no way of knowing whether I am telling the truth or not.

I have your own declarations as evidence that you are, at the very least, hallucinating. In the same way that you can claim to know that I never lived a holy life, I can claim that you have never experienced god. Especially since you are defining a holy life as you please, whereas it's pretty commonly accepted that people who see god and talk with him are not in their right minds.

Put it in formal logic. You will get something like this:

1. This person claims to have experience God
2. if someone claims to experience God because God does not exist, they are hallucinating
3. This person is hallucinating (MP 1,2)

That is about as logical as it gets. You are presupposing that God does not exist in order to justify describing my behavior as hallucinating.
