The Sphere That Isn't There
Much like a Kaniza triangle [https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/047d017f-10be-4ad0-a52a-36dd518cd608.png] where the artist has not drawn a triangle, this sphere was not drawn by the artist and is known as a contour illusion. I like to think this is how theists see god. They see evidence that they conside...
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
When I was younger, I seriously considered the possibility that I had some sort of genetic abnormality that was unable to sense a god's presence and quotes like this did not help.
Then at least two people have this defect because I was never able to either. 18 years going to church weekly, sometimes more, and nearly ten years as an altar server.
Everyone has that "defect." A lot of people just don't realize it.
Never had that feeling. I always was calling out for proof from God and when he didn't deliver I got upset.
Sad it took me until I was 31 to realize he was not real and the reason I always was questioning him was because deep down I knew it was all bullshit.
You too!?
Always had trouble deluding myself, even when I tried.
Till I realized that’s what I was doing, anyway.
Yeah, even in this context reading a quote like that makes me cringe.
