The "trick of the brain" you're ...Sorry, you fail. The "trick of the brain" you're referring to actually has something to do with SOUND. As in, the person can HEAR someone, so if he closes his eyes so that he doesn't see who is or is not there, he could think that someone's there. After all, if you hear someone talking, there HAS to be a source. Even if it's not a person in the room, it's coming from <I>somewhere</I>.<BR/><BR/>The idea that a similar "trick of the brain" affects Christians into thinking Jesus exists is not only ridiculous, but it has no equivalent mechanism. What senses are the Christians relying on that make them "feel" as though "someone" (i.e. Jesus) was "there" (exists)? It just doesn't work as an analogy, sorry.Drow Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002367011933665749noreply@blogger.com
