I Am An Atheist

I am an Atheist. And I'm in the inexplicable mood for a debate. So feel free to ask me anything, to challenge my beliefs, and to have a (hopefully) peaceful discussion about religion.

Would you change your mind if you experienced a 'spiritual' encounter where you felt as if you were being infused with God (God being love) or would you conclude your brain chemistry was having a riot? :-)

I would conclude, like I do every time I wake up, that dreams are a simple result of your brain's biochemistry. Not uninteresting or to be ignored, but nevertheless still pretty irrelevant to reality. The only purpose that such dreams serve in conscious life is to be turned into works of fiction.

@RoboChloe: it is interesting that humans might be hardwired to experience these 'mystical' episodes
