Hi @whyaskwhy,

You may not note it but he was alluding to non existence of anything beyond physical cognition as typical of ALL Atheists . Do you even know he is a self confessed atheist ??

He is not "alluding to non existence of anything beyond physical cognition." I cannot see anything in his writing to come to this conclusion. Could you please explain why you came to this conclusion, so that I can see your perspective?

Yes, I know he is an atheist. Although I am not an atheist I have no problem with anyone being an atheist or whatever they want to be PROVIDED they keep their beliefs or convictions to themselves and don't try to shove it down my throat through religious or non-religious rhetoric. Everyone and every living creature has a place in this grand scheme of things.

Could you please help him🤣🤣

I don't think he needs any help. If he (as an atheist) needs help then definitely you will need more help than him. As an atheist he came to his conclusions based on rational thinking using scientific reasoning. However, you are basing your conclusions based on a single book (with many contradictions within the same book, many versions and interpretations and no single consensus among the many denominations) purportedly from God, without any scientific reasoning.

Religious people faced with contradictory views go through cognitive dissonance, which many of them struggle to handle and cope with.

Here is a video which may be of interest to the readers of this thread who are struggling to cope with their cognitive dissonance, including you. If you are not suffering cognitive dissonance, that too is perfectly ok and you don't have to watch this video.
