So, basically, instead of praying and asking for a SPIRITUAL change that you can use, feel, and find peace in, YOU decided to use your physical brain to deny any spiritual reality? Ask God to reveal himself and He will. Scared? Maybe you're more than flesh and bones? You'll never know if you don't try to learn SPIRITUALLY. Pray.
YOU decided to use your physical brain to deny any spiritual reality?
Jump to conclusions much? That is quite a leap from; my statements of "I investigate things and don't close my mind to the evidence" to your assumption of "deny any spiritual reality".
I have denied nothing. I have presented evidence of a deeper truth about a book. If you believe that holding onto your beliefs is more important than looking at evidence, or debating a topic, then you are in good company. Every Branch Covidian does the exact same thing.
Ask God to reveal himself and He will. Scared?
I am afraid of nothing. In fact, I have studied religion for decades, at all levels, with much meditation and/or prayer depending on which period in my life. I have spent years experiencing a deeper, more spiritual communion with "what is", and continue to do so.
Maybe you're more than flesh and bones?
Maybe I am. My mind is certainly open to the possibility. I have seen some evidence that it is so, and I am constantly on the lookout for more such evidence. As I said, I have spent decades of my life looking for such evidence, following both physical and spiritual avenues of exploration.
Assume less about the presenter of evidence, when attempting to discredit evidence you don't like. Present arguments against the evidence, not the presenter of it.
