Ex-"New Atheist", Now Christian

RE: Ex-"New Atheist", Now Christian
(April 19, 2013 at 12:33 pm)Love Wrote: Hello,

I can only explain it as a deep sense of knowing. How can you prove to another person how you perceive love or colour, for example? You cannot. You can only use communication mediums to explain your experience. Language is too limited for me to be able to explain my experience of God. All you can do is either trust me in what I write or simply put it down to irrational delusion; it's entirely up to you.

Since we have no evidence to trust in regarding your subjective experience, that option is difficult to accept since that is the fundamental reason we are atheists in the first place. You can't honestly believe that you are the first person ever to come here and tell us you know about god because of some deep, personal, subjective spiritual experience, can you?

And while the things you say do, indeed, sound like irrational delusions, it is entirely possible that you are of completely sound mind but tragically misinterpreted some event in your life that led you to believe things were something other than what they actually are.

Also, I would like to repeat what has already been said: Disagreeing with you is not attacking or bullying. Legitimate questions have been raised. All we are asking is that you answer these questions.We are here to discuss the issues you bring up. However, bald assertions, unsubstantiated claims and subjective experiences are not well looked upon here. Things like this may, in fact, attract a great deal of sarcasm and ridicule. I dare say that you will have a hard time finding another forum with the depth, intelligence and education represented here.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Don't say stupid shit and you won't get attacked.
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." -Einstein
