Schizophrenia And Spiritual Experiences: Is There a Link?

[r2473]

It is a common fallacy. P implies Q does not mean that Q implies P, which is called the converse. Only the contrapositive can be inferred and not the converse or the inverse.

-Socrates is a man
-All men are mortal
__________
All men are Socrates

So when we were born we declared we were Jew, Buddhist, etc? What about a baby born to atheist parents?

That's not the point. One can be an atheist and still have some religion mentioned in some papers/documents. Just because one was born to religious people, or baptised does not mean one is a Catholic or Hindu.

If you are born to atheist parents they could put atheist down in some document. My folks are atheist but their document/s say Hindu, and so do my old ones.
Today, i don't believe that one has to fill that in, but there was a time when some documents did ask for religion.

Anyway, someone mentioned Hitler was a RC, and i just said it did not seem so from a link i looked at.

I gave a list of people who most likely are atheists who killed large numbers of people (in some cases over a million) just to show that it's not only religious people who can do wrong. Atheists aren't automatically angels.

What about primitive people in the Amazon, Papua, etc who do not use paper and other form of recording material? These people do not have birth certificate. Surely they were not born Catholic etc.

The statement "Every human was born as a Religion Whatever follower" is ridiculous and invalid. Babies do not choose or decide what they want to be. They do not choose to want to be born and they do not decide what their religion will be when they are born.

I remember when I was young I absolutely have no idea what religion is, why people asked me to go to a place of worship, and I absolutely had no idea what they were doing in there. I am glad I am the same now. People are wasting their time in places of worship.

Atheists aren't automatically angels.

What is an angel? How does it look like? Have you even met one or seen one? Religions are imaginary.

Yes, they have four legs and bark. They wag their tails too.

Religions are imaginary.

Except for Chocolate Cake.

Having a spiritual experience just looking at this ...

Chocophrenia, they call my condition. No known cure except for a chicobotomy.
