Not Quite Sensible
Nov. 2nd, 2011 11:48 amI've had religious experiences.
And I've persistently doubted these experiences: it could be coincidence, I was recovering from an injury, I was recovering from a fever, it could be faulty memory.
If my senses and memory are faulty, my empirical reasoning is far more faulty here. I end up denying some of my own experiences to cling to an internalized world-view, and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people are doing the same.
