Is it reasonable to think that all of the experiences with people touching an unseen realm – through prayer for instance – with specific answers for instance – across the centuries – on all continents – in every generation -in all of the different cultures and langauges are just nonsense and coincidence and that all of those experiences are something that happened just in each persons head? Is that reasonable? And if you accept that there is that dimension then what is the nature of it? All religions can be wrong but they cannot all be right.
And what do you make of the real, common, and every day stories of some individual that was one way ( a drunkard, profane, etc….)and after a religious experience was genuinely different (self control, peace, love) – transformed. Do you explain this very real occurence through psychology? And how is it that the fruit of the lives of these transformed people is amazingly consistent? This is all true and if you need proof of it then go to a prison and ask some of the guards and other inmates to point out some of these people to you. Do not be afraid to listen to the stories. Its true. It happens. Its real. The truly unreasonable position is to not take these facts serious when you are making up your mind about “religion”.
