Citing reasons doesn't mean that it isn't a delusion. Delusional people cite reasons for the beliefs all the time in order to maintain the delusion. D...

A symptom of a grandiose delusion. It looks like he still doesn't see his problem, Hanover. He knows better what the word "God" refers to, you ignoran...

Then you need to explain your distinction between seeing and experiencing.
December 19, 2017 at 14:26
Exactly. My point is that in order to receive salvation, one must experience things the way you experience them. In other words, we must simply accept...

What age will we be when ressurected? Bodies age, will we continue to age? What about what happened before we were born? Were we non-existent? What is...
December 19, 2017 at 14:23
You said atheists can even receive salvation. I consider myself an atheist. The only way to receive salvation is to experience what you experience, wh...

What does it mean to "come and see for yourself"? Try what out?
December 19, 2017 at 13:56
You did say to "come and see for yourself". I don't understand the distinction you are making between seeing and experiencing. I'll re-prhase, but tha...
December 19, 2017 at 13:54
Let's start with our moral codes. People call the Christian God loving, yet the Bible shows otherwise. If hell exists, that also shows that it isn't l...
December 19, 2017 at 13:53
LOL. Sure, non-believers can receive salvation by seeing things the way I see them. You've just proved my point.
December 19, 2017 at 13:49
Exactly, you have already accepted the premise unquestioningly and made it your life's work to study this particular god. If all you have to go on is ...
December 19, 2017 at 13:39
No, it requires logic and reason - by integrating all knowledge into a consistent whole. God doesn't use faith and neither do we when determining some...
December 19, 2017 at 13:38
Fair enough. I admit that that was a bad example. I can admit that I'm wrong. You have yet to do that - a symptom of being delusional. Let's use anoth...
December 19, 2017 at 13:37
I wouldn't believe the my brother had sex with my wife without evidence. Your words are evidence, but not proof. When someone claims something, I need...
December 19, 2017 at 13:33
If God uses the clear-cut evidence of my thoughts and actions to judge me, then where is the clear-cut evidence of God's existence? To design me with ...
December 19, 2017 at 13:09
In other words, you made up a story, for which the only evidence is an ancient book written by people with no access to the knowledge we have today, a...
December 19, 2017 at 13:05
Are people who never heard of God and hell delusional? Once they hear of God and hell, but see no evidence for it and reject it makes them delusional?
December 19, 2017 at 13:02
So then death is really the end then?
December 19, 2017 at 13:01
? How do you know there isn't any evidence that unicorns exist? Do you live your life based on all the claims that have no evidence? Why do you change...
December 19, 2017 at 12:57
You're missing a very important point. There is no evidence of God's existence. Delusions are covering up things for which there is evidence, with thi...
December 19, 2017 at 12:55
So, truth is what makes us feel good?
December 19, 2017 at 12:48
So you don't believe that you are an eternal spirit and that the body is just a faulty (sinful) copy of yourself? If eternal spirits don't need bodies...
December 19, 2017 at 12:30
No. Questioning someone's premise for which there is no evidence is not indicative of having a grandiose delusion. It IS indicative of having delusion...
December 19, 2017 at 12:26
It's not a matter of being cultured. I was a believer the first half of my life. It's a matter of being logical and reasonable. IF hell exists, would ...
December 19, 2017 at 12:21
You're asking me if I'm afraid of an "if"?
December 19, 2017 at 11:59
Actually, infants have already solved this problem when they acquire Object Permanence. If 1. is true, then you are saying that you only exist as word...
December 19, 2017 at 11:56
Not solely. You hold your beliefs for the purpose of alleviating the stress of knowing the world is a certain way that you don't like or agree with. A...
December 18, 2017 at 19:44
Let's start with this one: Do you not accept your premise unquestioningly (that God, the afterlife, the supernatural, spirits, etc., exist) which then...
December 18, 2017 at 19:32
It seems that you don't know what any of those words mean in the context of THIS conversation.
December 18, 2017 at 19:27
I mean that you hold beliefs that alleviate the stress of knowing you will die and cease to exist. In other words, you cover up reality with your nice...
December 18, 2017 at 19:26
Of course, but if you want to determine which claims are more useful than others, and therefore more accurate, then they need to be testable and falsi...
December 18, 2017 at 19:24
I gave you an answer. It's not my problem if you don't like it.
December 18, 2017 at 19:19
You suffer from delusions. You asked me to show you that you are delusional. I did.
December 18, 2017 at 19:17
I never made that distinction.
December 18, 2017 at 19:15
The delusions do not interfere with general logical reasoning (although within the delusional system the logic is perverted) and there is usually no g...

Read again. It says OFTEN, not always. Maybe you should check what you read? Irritability synonyms: irascibility, testiness, touchiness, grumpiness, m...

I'm not talking about headaches. I'm talking about delusions. There are a plethora of symptoms - most of which should be met to say that someone is de...

I think you have problems in understanding what you experience.

From Wikipedia The following can indicate a delusion: The patient expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force. That idea appears to ...

I couldn't care less about the millions like you. If you are the one that stole from me, prepare for some dire consequences. People like you tend to n...

The way I see it is that everyone is following the Golden Rule. The way people treat you is how they want to be treated. If they treat you nicely, you...

We seem to be saying the same thing, just using different terms. The fact that you keep using the names of people who came up with these formulas for ...

"Some people think better than others?" Isn't this the same as asking if there are people that are more intelligent than others? Wouldn't IQ measure t...

Simple. The intent lies within the cause of the equation themselves - Schrödinger. Why else would you call it the Schrödinger equation if not for the ...

Of course it does. Look it up in a dictionary. Laws are statements about things and statements are intentional. This is circular and therefore meaning...
