William James responded to ridiculizing depictions of religious experience quite satisfactorily : it's the content of the revelations that matters, not speculation about their origins -which atheists suck at anyway, but that's for another thread-.
Quote:It's because we know the Islamic prophet couldn't have produced the Qur'an -nor could his companions, or their successors- that we believe Islam is true, not solely because he claimed he spoke to an angel.....and yet.."his successors" did, as a matter of fact, produce the magic book.
Quote:Any argument in favor of Islam is a form of abduction : the prophet's religious experience and revelations are better explained if he were genuine than if he weren't. And his sincerity is uncontroversial, otherwise the appearance of Islam as one of the most explosive forces in history becomes incomprehensible.Said the man who started out by saying content was more important than origin. Why not follow through? That it's the content that explains why people believe - not the alleged sincerity of a man none of you have ever met.
