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.
The same could be said of any observation.
It looked real enough.
Also, I said “meditation”, not sleep. Remember?
(And by meditation I mean something esoteric and deep. My experience is long, the popular experience is scant and it’s so uncommon that I may as well call it magic)
