[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be like you. Over the years I’ve had several odd, sometimes disturbing, sometimes moving experiences that tell me there is something beyond the known.

Whether you believe it or not, it is always there for you. [/quote]

+1 you just feel there is something beyond our physical world when you've experienced certain things[/quote]

How would that be any different than a delusion?  How could you tell the difference?[/quote]

I think you mean “illusion,” not “delusion.”

I always think this board could be interesting if the atheists/agnostic population posting would educate themselves a little before sharing their opinions and trying to tear others down.  Instead, it just seems silly.  [/quote]

No, I meant “delusion”.  So how would a delusion be different?[/quote]

Well, an illusion is when you mistake one thing for another.  Like a child thinking a pile of clothes is a monster.  Asking pp how she knows that she didn’t mistake some kind of experience for something supernatural is a reasonable question.  
A delusion implies some kind of mental illness.  Asking pp how she knows that her belief in God isn’t evidence of a mental illness is just meant to be offensive.  Just asking questions in order to be rude and offensive is boring.  [/quote]

I didn’t say the PP was delusional, I asked what would be different if they were.  How could they tell?[/quote]
