Here's the big question then. How is it then, that the "feeling" of believing in a God, any different from the chemical reactions that can be measured by science?
There's no difference to me. My hope of going to heaven if I do good things is no different than my hope of winning a lottery if I buy enough tickets. People can call it blasphemous to equate a lottery to heaven but as far as I'm concerned, all do-A-get-B concepts that work off blind faith fire off the same neurons in the mind.QUOTE(Deadlocks @ May 30 2010, 02:40 PM)
how will you justify your acceptance of the chemical reaction of your body pertaining to human emotions, and not the chemical reaction of a "feeling" to believe in a God?
Again, as long as anger, sadness, and hope can be felt, the first criteria of tangibility you posted is satisfied so emotions are 'real' in that regard. Now, can God be felt? Not to me. There is no emotion called God. Neither is it a force of gravity, heat or electricity that can be felt. For an all-powerful always present superbeing that promises to pulverize you for being disobedient, it is extremely shy. It doesn't satisfy any criteria of tangibility that I know.If you don't want anything about religion here in this topic, it's gonna be hard when you ot the word God appearing 9 times in the original post.
