Yeah. And when I was 19 I thought I would feel older when I was 20 because I'd be older. And I DID feel older, despite I was only a day older.
I didn't believe in God when I read TGD, but I was more superstitious, without realizing it though. And it wasn't your usual superstition. But it was superstition nonetheless.
I also was giving pseudoscience like 'The Secret' some pause. And that wasn't right! And despite the fact I didn't believe in God before. I now have better reasons for it. In the sense that I know all the reasons WHY God is improbable. I don't just think " ah the whole things silly".
And I no longer think there is weak evidence for God's existence that if grew stronger could prove him. And I no longer have pause with all the miracle stories of God. Or of pseudoscience like 'The Secret'.
I now understand there is NO evidence for the Supernatural that we (or at least I) know of.
For example, I no longer think that if a belief in God has utility that constitutes as evidence of his existence. It doesn't.
In fact, as Sam Harris suggests, the fact that God consoles us could in fact add a reason to disbelieve his existence. Because it could easily be a sign that you are engaging in wishful thinking.
