Personal experience
August 12, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Does it matter? My personal experiences have been that there was nothing there, I directly apprehended the non existence of a god. That has stayed with me but I have never advanced it as an argument in favour of my athiesm because i am prone to delusion like anyone is. There are many better arguments in favour of atheism so why would I rely on this. But theists seem to advance this as evidence of a god/s from any religion. Is this because all other evidence is either non existence or terrible and there is nothing left to fall back on? Or is it viewed as partic relevant in a religious context. If so why are my experinces any less worthy?
