it is nonsense what yo said...world is metaphysical. You do not get physical evidence you get personal evidence , atheists just have to accept that theists have inner evidence that is not accessible to atheism unless atheist is mistaken like, for example, Antony Flew.
There is no evidence of your claim outside of your belief system, leaving you trapped in a conundrum of infinite regression. As a result, it is quite reasonable and logically unassailable, to describe such belief systems as delusional.
it is now - but that's what you intended of course...
...and whether that statement makes a substantive or merely semantic point depends on whether you mean it transcends "nature" or transcends our knowledge - you know very well what I mean - that nothing in the natural world transcends nature even if a great deal of it still transcends our knowledge...you have so far failed to give a single example to support your assertions...
this is how it works - individual personal "revelation", this why an atheist can not relate to it but another theist can...
You say the atheists are blind, atheists say that religionists are delusional. It is rather straightforward to explore which hypothesis has rational supportive evidence.
if you look at ancient people of Egypt, Greece, Rome, e.t.c. their art literature you see that they 99.99% were theists. That was the time where their bodies were much less polluted and their perception organs were more or less intact. Say, I estimate they were at 60% of working order, now days average theist
I do not know how explain, only thing I can tell that I know that I had / have experience it prints in my being I do not need any other validation sometime it comes through dreams or episodes of synchronicities . Intuition? I do not think about selectively giving to certain people or ignoring. It may be as radio station emitting signal and receiving people either tuned or not.
How do you feel about people who have had similar (if not identical) experiences, but come to entirely different conclusions to you? Do you feel that they are mistaken?
It is evolution spiral, everyone is at different point on the spiral.
So, how do you know where you are in the spiral?
by examining myself...and I still not in the place I'd like to be. do not you do the same?
sorry you can not relate to this, have a good day.
But how do you know your assessment is accurate or meaningful?
absolutely. I know. my intuition works fine. now, can you tell me implications , in your opinion, what happened to me if I was not accurate, what harm would happen? It is a win -win situation. Atheist has no choice - just to roll into it, wanting or not.
That's just a restatement of Pascal's Wager, something that has been shown to be horse puckey in so many ways: Apologia Atheos: Pascal's wager refuted
it is my wager today, try refute it...
