POST TO THE SKEPTICS:
You can't seem to get past your psychological brainwashing. I'll make an attempt to get you to critically think about what you blind faith believe. Okay, here we go:
Lets suppose, for a moment, that besides the Jews, Christians and Muslims there were no religions to be found on Earth. Let's suppose that no matter what isolated tribes were discovered they were all atheists. In such a scenario it would be logical and reasonable to conclude that religion and the concept of "God" are human constructs. In short: the staunch atheist conclusion would be the logical and reasonable one.
The problem here is the opposite is true! All isolated tribes I have ever heard of believe in some sort of creator deity. Oh, the names may be different, but when you juxtapose their overall beliefs and see what they have in common you should find they all believe there is some sort of mysterious, conscious force behind the facade of the reality we experience. When this force is happy with us we are, generally, rewarded with wonderful lives. If this force is angry with us all kinds of ecological hell can break loose.
That is essentially what you find and, apparently, what new discoveries in Quantum Physics are revealing is that there is indeed some mysterious force behind the reality we take for granted; that the apparent solidity of the reality we experience IS AN ILLUSION!! This is in harmony with much of Vedic teachings and I believe it is in harmony with advanced Buddhist teachings as well.
Atheists tend to act as though only Jews, Christians & Muslims believe in some soft of mysterious consciousness behind the reality we tend to take for granted. The staunch skeptical atheist REFUSES to be skeptical of his own belief system!!!!!
