We're not talking about feelings or intuition here. Were talking about logical problems with answers of various degrees of perfection. It's usually a simple exercise in discarding the least likely option. Are you capable of that? I don't see how any human can function without this process. It's how you live your daily life. Given likelihood a and b, you choose which course of action to take. Your functioning is controlled by your philosophical outlook. You do it just like everyone else.
BINGO, it is not "material" and neither is their god neither or their holy books. It never occurs to any believer of any religion that HUMANS are the ones making up gods because it is a placebo and false comfort.
It is all, every single one, a reflection of human's desires, yours and every other. There is no "method" in any of it. It is merely clinging to myth to bring oneself false comfort.
Belief in Ra, and Osirus and Horus, once brought people comfort. Belief in Apollo once brought people comfort. Other believe in Allah for comfort. Others believe in Vishnu in comfort.
And NONE OF YOU have the balls to take your claims into a lab because none of you have shit you can prove. You merely like what you believe and no one of any religion has the guts to admit that is really all they have.
