There is no evidence for the existence of the “Soul,” “Heaven,” “Hell,” “God,” or the “Afterlife” that is admissible in a court of law or a contemporary scientific journal.
These concepts must all be accepted on “Faith.”
This idea of Faith is essentially “Belief without Evidence.” In any other realm of human existence, belief without evidence is considered to be “Delusional Thought.”
In Christianity, the concept of belief without evidence is promoted and encouraged. Is Christian Faith just a form of Delusional Thought, or mental illness?
Consider for example, the concept of the “Soul.”
What is the Soul? Where is the Soul located? Is the Soul in the body? How can we “see” the Soul? What does the Soul look like? How is it attached to the body? By what mechanism is the Soul attached to the body? Where in the body is the Soul attached? If the Soul is NOT in the body, then where is it? Is the Soul in another dimension? If so, then how is it connected, or identified with the body across dimensions? If it is in this dimension, where is it? Can we photograph the Soul? Can we videotape the Soul in action?
Any rational question we might ask about the essential nature of the Soul, tells us nothing and cannot be answered. It is the same for the other basic theological concepts promoted by the Christian Church.
These fundamental concepts of “Soul,” “Heaven,” “Hell,” “God,” or the “Afterlife” are basic to the mindset promoted by the Christian Church. These concepts are essentially delusional beliefs and delusional thought. Usually a delusional belief is considered to be a kind of mental illness. Does the Christian Church promote mental illness?
