Lets take a little break from politics and have us a real atheist conversation.

Personally, I'm open to the idea of the existence of supernatural phenomena, and I believe mainstream religions are actually complicated incomplete stories full of misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and half-truths.

Basically, I think that these stories are not as simple and straightforward as they seem to be to religious people. I feel like there is a lot more to them. Concluding that all these stories are just made up or came out of nowhere is kind of hard for me.

You are not "talking" to people if you do that, you're requiring that they educate you because you're lazy.

And besides, your assumptions are faulty.

You're discounting misperceptions, allucinations, altered states, and plain simple lies (for entertainment or for profit). Why do you exclude all those possible reasons for reporting supernatural experiences?

What are you on about lol. I asked people about their thoughts on the supernatural, and I'm sharing my thoughts back. Conversation. I also haven't denied that there are false claims out there. You sound like the many argumentative pseudo-intellectuals I usually meet on Reddit. Always looking to start shit. You're really crashing out because I asked bro what a hallucination is. I know what it is. I'm just trying to talk to him, but unfortunately, you hijacked our conversation for unknown reasons.

You have this reversed.

Before entertaining conversations with you, you need to prove that the phenomenon is true, something nobody has done.

Always looking to start shit.

You confessed to enjoy trolling people in the other subthread. Your horse is so high you can call him Pegasus.

I asked bro what a hallucination is.

There is a known definition that's easily googleable. Fucking do it and stop trolling people.
