Darkstar when I write about my experiences of God, I am not stretching myself to make some sort of argument, I am expressing clearly what has happened to me in a simple format of reporting on what happened.
This is totally different from the way that atheists talk about science, which are models of reality which is inherently different and does not absolutely track science. Atheists never acknowledge this about science, they talk about it like it is a law.
Why are you an anti-theist? How do you know God exists well enough to know you should oppose God, even if it means it will prevent others from knowing God if God may exist?
Atheists are incapable of being honest because they are so used to treating probabilistic science as absolute truth that it is wired into their brains, they think in these terms, they demand answers conform to models that cannot give absolutes, they have wired themselves in such a way as to make themselves dependent not on science but on the quasi-religious belief of naturalism.
They will never accept this, but there whole worldview will grab a hold of science and demand absolute adherence to their interpretation of science, called naturalism, which they demand be accepted as science.
The atheist, indeed is incapable of being honest. His entire worldview is based on a misunderstanding, thinking that the philosophy of naturalism is the same as scientific evidence and is subject to the same standards of verification. Obviously. it is not.
