I never heard of anybody claiming to share what an atheist experiences and then claim that this is not the result of the fact that God does not exist.
Too many "nots" in that sentence. As a physicist, I hope you're more precise with numbers.
I'm telling you: I
have had the same "experiences" as every theist I know
and I have reservations about attributing them to "God".
Thus you call my experiences delusions....
Of course I never said any such thing.
But it does seem strange to me if you are claiming a experience of the non-existence of God.
I don't know where you're getting that. I never said anything about "experiencing non-existence" - whatever the @#$% that means.
I'll type slower this time: I claim the same experiences as all the theists I know. Call it a "possession" by some celestial spook, if you like. I don't.
The experiences in question are experiences of God, to deny the connection to God is to deny that they are experiences of God.
Exactly. I deny that the experiences are
necessarily experiences of God.
