Scientifically Refuting the Argument from Experience- Part 1

[lipoicacid]

@MyVoicenotSilenced '' I am sorry for anyone who thinks he is a myth'' Do not feel sorry for me.It is you who is ignorant of ancient history and the evolution of the Satan myth.I do not have delusions of invisible beings so I am doing quite well.

[lipoicacid]

@MyVoicenotSilenced ''my family had Satanists living in it before we moved in'' ''Satan'' is a myth found a book of borrowed myth.This is a fact. Do your research.

[lipoicacid]

@MyVoicenotSilenced '' people do not want to believe in God'' You must first define your god and provide evidence that several independent observers can witness and examine.That is how we [and you when applied to anything else] determine what is ''real''...

[lipoicacid]

@MyVoicenotSilenced ''...desperately don't want to believe or know.'' Believe what?

I'm sorry you were disilusioned in your belief of Jesus. Someone didn't tell you that believing in Jesus meant hardships, riducled, being called nuts, or boring even. That it was just a choice, no, it's realizing that no matter what you do your a sinner and by God's law you must pay. But that same God loved us so much that He made a way with His son Jesus dying on the cross. We have a justice system so does God. The ultimate justice. Accuse me of using hell as a fear tactic, ya damm right.

Fortunately the bibles are borrowed, interpolated and redacted myth =/

So you believe in nothing. But do you believe there are ghosts or some unexplainable things? My sister had some scary things happen when messing around with the Satanic bible, and she wasn't by herself. You'll never convince her that it wasn't real, because they weren't expecting anything to happen but the opposite occured.

[lipoicacid]

''So you believe in nothing''.The opposite of what you believe is ''nothing''??? Where is this ''nothing''??? =/

[lipoicacid]

In regard to your sister:The mind can manifest what it strongly believes it seems and remember-the optic nerve is a ''two way street'' =/

[vbirdieb]

SHE WASN'T alone. That's like telling YOU that even though your friends and YOU saw something, it wasn't real.  No matter how clearly you saw it. COME ON BE FOR REAL. If you and your friends saw something that couldn't be explained out in the middle of nowhere, after reading about a really nasty demon, (not aloud) I think you would change your mind. But you would be called nuts or a liar, all because you can't prove it, even with witnesses. I suppose you would still call it a myth. Denial

[pikemand1410]

have you considered the posibility that she and her friends are just clammering for attention? Anyway my belief in this matter is irelevant as i do not have enough information about it to analyse it.

Oh and if your is not willing to accept that she and her friends are wrong given enough evidence then they can only be described with one adjective, Ignorant.

Or stupid.

[vbirdieb]

Are you talking to me? If so who is she and her friends?

I have something for you to think about. If Some mental illnesses is a chemical imbalance, if they know what chemical these people are deficent in, then it stands to reason we should see better results than we do.

Emotional trama is different which can cause trust issues, even split personalities. Way more complicated than chemical imbalance.

Just asking questions inquiring minds want to know.

This is the reason I decided to go into neurology. I want to be one of those helping get this hammered down.

Good work Jordan, well done :)

There are two meanings of feeling typically used: 1) To believe something 2) To perceive emotion (also having a neurophysiological correspondence). You've adressed the latter, but not the former. It's often sporadic and edifying cognitions (with no implicit emotion) that indicates God or Revelation. Revelation, in my experience, has been dissociated with the focus of my prayer, as if something thrust upon me - revelations contrary to those possible even in meditation or concious reflection. True

[vbfl920]

As someone who bases his life on these "occurences", I don't think these descriptions do this any justice. It's basically like someone dictating to me what it is I feel and also experience... like I'm powerless to recognize this myself.

[lennyhipp]

nice job... never really thought about this, other than the conclusion Bill Maeur comes to in Religulous (and that you mentioned as one of the possibilities) that if they hear the voice of god, they're delusional.

This is a subject worth investigating further.

love the video's particularly the second one. i have a ley aquaintance with neurollogy in as much as ime familliar with many of the tools and recognise terms but it was nice to for instance think about there being a part of the brain which gives rise to feelings of causality originating outside of the person. or the sence of being overwhellmed. nice video.

Fascinating tune to put with this. Also, beautiful rendition, I think.
