Personal experience

RE: Personal experience
(August 14, 2010 at 4:35 am)tackattack Wrote: I'm not doubting your "experience" I'm doubting it was experienced due to the fundamental definitions of nothing and experience. There is an important distinction there I hope you get. Nor do I say my personal experiences should ammount to a speck of sand to anyone else, but when asked why I believe I have a truckload of premium silica.
You cannot doubt I experienced it, it was my experience not yours. I'm not the only one. You need to read the letters Mother Theresa sent to the catholic hierarchy in 1953 and later. She was desparately searching for god and experienced nothing. She wrote quite compellingly and better than I could have expressed it myself. I wasn't a fan of hers if I'm honest, but I did feel sorry for her that she wanted a religious experience and couldn't find one. I think you are simply wrong and of you are I think we can both agree that as objective evidence it doesn't count.
