True that. His faith claims are stated as facts. since he has stated that words can be defined however a person decides, then any "definitions" he provides are faith claims. his statement that a post on this thread "is nothing of value" is another of his faith claims. he is a person of faith who makes many faith claims.
He is made insecure about his own beliefs when he encounters someone more confident in a different worldview. He wants us all to live in a world of relative truth where the meaning of every word is in flux.
Have you shared the details of your NDE? I doesn’t matter to me if it was a ‘real’ experience of the spiritual realm, or not. I’m interested to hear more about it, either way, even if you’re spinning a yarn. (sorry if I already asked you about it and forgot)
I'm not sure I get you. You want me to spin a yarn about what happened in a fake NDE??????
no, it is not reasonable to conclude that.
if only 2% of children are prodigies would you say they are hallucinating that they are prodigies?
if only 2% of people who are struck by lightning live would you say they are hallucinating that they were struck by lightning?
if only 2% of people see numbers as having colors, or can view the colors in the energy field surrounding a person, would you say they are hallucinating?
again, the logic presented does not hold.
small number of something happening, does not mean it is not happening.
lol it does if you just stop and think about it. 2% get struck by lightning but millions have come this close to getting struck plus everybody alive has seen lightning so they know it exists. I can't recall if you're a Christian or not, tzap.
ummm.....afraid I can't do that, new. It's against CD policy to knowingly lie. Sorry.
what it also tells us is that believing in some [thing] more, as in we are just part of a reality stack, is more reasonable. And that avoiding that position is a lying to people.
Yes, some people are lying by not saying a word. They are just as responsible.

What benefit would I gain by saying I believe in something more?
the scientific method was designed to remove that phrase when making claims about the reality stack.
also, withholding truth based on "The benefit to me is ..." is what?
The scientific method is a structured form of inquiry, no? When we inquire about something, we do it for the purpose of gaining knowledge, which stands in opposition to belief. Gain and benefit are related.
