Hi fr0d0, as I explained in my first post; the world inside me is not something I'm willing to explain with purely scientific language. Gods, myths and souls are not scientific, they never exist, they are not real by any means. However, I argue that it is not harmful for people to have such "objects" intrinsically in their minds if and only if people can control them so that these spiritual objects cannot intervene in people's real-world reasoning process. Otherwise, this neurological activity would be identical to what we call "dogma".

RE: Welcome everyone!
Sounds to me like an active imagination, which I agree is not only harmless but healthy and beneficial as long as it doesn't spill over into a person's perception of reality. I guess what I'm saying is having your head in the clouds is a wonderful gift, but don't forget to keep your feet on the ground.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Damn you Britons, trying to tell the rest of the world that it's completely normal to walk around in fogs all the time Tongue
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Hey, if it weren't for our signature pea-soupers, I'd never be able to go out!
