Re: Reality of gods vs reality of experience
Then you can be Party D: I have never met a soul eating horror. No empirical evidence supports the exisetence of soul eating horrors. Therefore, I'm pretty certain there is no such thing as a soul eating horror and that there is another, rational, explaination for why billions of people, for thousands of years, think that they have met soul eating horrors.
I get to be B, and I think Rae'ya is C...
I can also see a potential for a Party E: I have never met a soul eating horror and no empirical evidence supports the exisetence of soul eating horrors. However, billions of people, for thousands of years have claimed experience of soul eating horrors. There seem to be many reasons why people might be experiencing soul eating horrors, including the possibility that they might actually exist. Until there is actual evidence of a soul eating horror or I have a personal experience of a soul eating horror, I will be openminded. (which would be someone that is truly agnostic)
And IRL, there's Party F: I have never met a soul eating horror, but I was raised to believe that they existed. I know lots of people--family, friends, teachers, doctors, lawyers, the postman--that say they have had personal experiences with soul eating horrors...some of them on a daily basis! Soul eating horrors are real, run for your lives!!!
And (also IRL) Party G: I have never met a soul eating horror, but I was raised to believe that they existed. I know lots of people--family, friends, teachers, doctors, lawyers, the postman--that say they have had personal experiences with soul eating horrors...some of them on a daily basis! But there's really no actual evidence of soul eating horrors... There seem to be many reasons why people might be experiencing soul eating horrors, including the possibility that they might actually exist. I have this incredibly rich social network and support system built upon people believing in soul eatin horrors, and I really appreciate and respect...so I'll go along with it because I think they do a lot of good as a group.
