Atheism, Theism, Science & Philosophy

[Faith No More]

I doubt that you, personally, are either mentally ill or even abnormal. What happens in me in the large, to an extent, happens to ordinary people in the small.

I think this is something that bears repeating. Many people seem to be under the impression that only the mentally ill can be tricked by their brains in such ways, and experiencing any such trick means that person is mentally ill. Thus, they conclude that not having any history of mental health problems means they can trust that this experience was valid. The fact is that everyone is prone to delusional experiences, but the mentally ill are simply people that experience them at such a frequency that it interferes with their daily lives.

Everyone can and will be fooled by their brains.

I feel that the atheistic worldview is actually very bleak, although my new found belief in Christianity is in no way a reaction to my perceived hoplessness of atheism.

The extreme level of skepticism I hold towards this comment cannot be adequately described in words.
