thoughtfullygeneralwonderland: your bodies dont feel foreign until you delude yourself into believing youre a fictional character

fromfiction: that’s an incorrect assertion.

thoughtfullygeneralwonderland: explain why

fromfiction: Our bodies feeling foreign lead us to believe we are people identified in this world as fictional charactes. my body felt foreign to me long before I believed I was kin

thoughtfullygeneralwonderland: either way youre deluding yourself

fromfiction: A belief is not a delusion. https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_do_psychiatric_delusions_differ_from_strongly_held_beliefs_or_opinions http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3016695/

thoughtfullygeneralwonderland: delusion: an idiosyncratic belief or impression maintained despite being contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder.

fromfiction: are you an atheist?

thoughtfullygeneralwonderland: none of your business

thoughtfullygeneralwonderland: yup

fromfiction: so you are an atheist who believes religion is a delusion. in that case, I don’t have any argument with you, aside to ask that you treat us with the same level of respect you treat people of other faiths.

thoughtfullygeneralwonderland: i am

fromfiction: good then.I don’t have any interest in arguing the existence of souls with someone who doesn’t believe in them.

thoughtfullygeneralwonderland: K
