Oh Sheldon. What colour is your heart? And from who do you know by that which upon the seasons change from spring to fall? What colour is your heart, enlighman?

I have no idea what that means sorry, and I’m not English.

@Sheldon

this doesn’t change the fact the evidence all points to them being derived entirely naturally from your mind, or that someone with schizophrenia is overwhelmingly more likely to experience such hallucinations.

Except … you haven’t seen the universe from my vantage point. You haven’t seen the multiverse or the collection of multiverses from where I have - on account of the Deities Power.

So, not having seen what I’ve seen, you pretend to know that from whence it came? A little presumptuous, hmm?

Except no presumption was involved, only the objective evidence from medical science. Do you accept all the anecdotal claims everyone makes, especially those from people who have schizophrenia, and so are up to 50 times more likely to experience powerful hallucinations, that the condition means they struggle to distinguish from reality? I have to go where the objective evidence indicates. No one is claiming these hallucinations are not very powerful when you experience them, quite the opposite.

Someone with schizophrenia is vastly more likely to experience hallucinations.

Someone with a boner is vastly more likely to … have a hard time peeing in a toilet. (Unless upside down).

This doesn’t address the objective evidence though.

@rat_spit

You have not seen what I have seen, Sheldon.

Claim to have seen, and again the objective medical evidence suggests these are extremely likely to be powerful hallucinations. In stark contrast anecdotal claims for unevidenced supernatural events are not at all compelling, as I explained.

@rat_spit

Well. We are our own worst enemy I suppose.

Well to be fair anyone who suffers from schizophrenia is vastly more likely to experience very powerful hallucinations, and have a problem differentiating them from reality. We all sometimes need help with things, and the safest choice for anyone with schizophrenia is to seek that help.
