I've answered it directly.

You are just mad I'm not letting you avoid critical parts to your argument.
You have done nothing but obfuscate. I made very plain statements. Nothing more or less. You have ignored them and childishly hurled insults.

It's a whole lot of this being proved right:

Most people aren't capable of having a discussion on metaphysics because their ego doesn't allow them to start from the premise that they aren't even able to comprehend how much they don't know, let alone acknowledge it.
I rarely engage you because it just is like hitting your head against the wall, but you're a twit who thinks he has answers to almost everything but doesn't know jack shit about anything and is completely batshit crazy. And yes, I am childishly hurling insults.

This thread has reached its limit on the number of times we can use the word obfuscate.

Read my posts.

Everything else was written to troll you or obfuscate relatively straightforward scientific data.

It wasn't clear to me from your initial post about this, but is your partner also experiencing these things? Or is it only you (and your pooch)?
She hadn’t told me about it before I brought it up but apparently she has been dealing with similar things the last few months, which goes against my whole hoping it’s a subconscious thing
Well. Like most AG threads, this went off the rails at some point.

Anyhow, I asked because of what you said about wondering about your mental health. But if it's a shared experience, that's something else again isn't it?

My family and I (Missus, kids, all of us) went through something similar several years ago. Many strange experiences. And it ramped up big time when my wife became a Christian. I could list the experiences here, but this isn't exactly the forum. I could PM you if you are interested.

So musings by (some) physictists is definitely valid, but a meta-analysis by the leading psychological journal in the entire world may or may not be valid?

Okay then. I wonder if your confidence would go up if the conclusions were "atheists rule theists drool".

And to the second point, are you willing to say men aren't generally stronger then women because female Olympic powerlifters can outlift Madness?
Will you freaking stop trying to put words in my mouth.
