ok, before you read further let me just say that I don’t have any qualifications other than a School Certificate (Achieved through pbuming an easy state wide exam in year 10 highschool in Australia NSW) so anything said isn’t a trained opinion, I’m just trying to give a new angle on the old arguments.

Consider the individual; how does he know he exists?

The only way he knows or believes he exists is through what he see’s and feels. Then how does he know that what he feels is real? is it because he can feel the sensation… the pain, pleasure, etc or because he thinks he does?

The only rational conclusion he can come to is that what His mind tells him is always true. Subconsciously we control all extraneous input into our minds so the option of being influenced solely by our environment is cut loose as ultimately we choose how we wish to perceive our environment (an example being a deranged or psychotic person that experiences hallucination).

My opinion on this subject is that: belief is truth; this both supports the idea of atheism and belief in a higher entity.

Religion is a Crutch trying to explain the unexplained and unseen.

Science is a Crutch trying to explain what is (supposedly) straight in front of us.

Amen
