Have always been interested in finding meaning in life beyond the five senses, but usually avoid discussions on religion.

Why?

Many people who are strongly religious:

• were raised that way (deep roots, ties to fam)

• have had profound experiences that they interpret as associated with a religion, or

• have had conversion experiences (often after awful) that make religion a safe haven

Anti-religious folks have had the opposite and thus react against religion.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE AN INTELLIGENT DISCUSSION UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES?

• often after awful experiences in life

if something's just an ungrounded thought or wish, you may be right.

But there are other kinds of experiences that come unbidden and have a vividness that is impossible to deny.

You can argue that no experiences are ultimately real (simulation idea) but how can you know that your percepts are more real than somebody else's?
