Why atheism always has a burden of proof

[pocaracas]

You can prove his existence either through prayer and contemplation/meditation or through the dissolution of your physical form.

How can you discern that from self-delusion? or from paranoia? or any other mental disturbance which can make you think you see/hear/feel something which doesn't exist?

You can try the other method if you prefer but will know either way. The trick is you can know while you're still fully corporealated and that ought to change you, your relationships and your life in general for the better. Don't underestimate the power of the Force.

What new sorcery is this?

Your present corporeal form, you won't always have that one you know. Even avoiding accident and disease it's subject to some kind of a degenerative process over time. So you will get a taste of the action eventually if you wait long enough but you can get a taste of it here and now.

Almoust everyone here has been high at one point. Been there, seen it, no need for mystification.

And I imagine near death expiriences to be just the same. Tricks played to your mind by a dysfunctional brain.

Once I am rotting away to cancer, I think I`ll start doing all the drugs again, including those I never tried, just to make it a bit more freaky.

God can give you a high that no chemical substance can hope to match. Try it, just give it a go you'll see. You may want to take your materialist assumption blinkers off first, try to bear in mind there is no "no evidence" for it and it isn't "more rational" to assume a universe of this complexity wasn't engineered given the level of natural balance on which this complexity depends. All that has been got out of the way now and you can harness the power. You don't shut off your brain you make use of all of it including, the parts you have been shutting off or ignoring. The Force will flow through you.

You can imagine a lot of possibilities, how about imagining limitless possibilities? You know you want to.

Try God for the ultimate fix. Become a junkie of the Lord.

Heaven is a very limiting possibility.

Spending eternety with every person I dispised worshiping a psycopath.

Heaven sounds like North Korea.

I am not a junky you cunt.

And do you tell fascists to become fascists of the lord?

No, I don't know...
And I'm curious as to how you know about that...

Even avoiding accident and disease it's subject to some kind of a degenerative process over time. So you will get a taste of the action eventually if you wait long enough but you can get a taste of it here and now.

Why would I want to fool myself?

Reminds me of a line from Cheech & Chong:

"You know before, I was all messed up on drugs. But since I found the Lord, now I'm all messed up on the Lord."

When people go from addiction to religion, they are not solving the problem with "distraction therapy", they are simply replacing one addiction for another.
