Much like a Kaniza triangle
[https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/047d017f-10be-4ad0-a52a-36dd518cd608.png] where
the artist has not drawn a triangle, this sphere was not drawn by the artist and
is known as a contour illusion. I like to think this is how theists see god.
They see evidence that they consider divine that outlines or contours the shape
of something that isn’t there. I’d like to close this post with a quote from
Pascal that I find both fitting and oddly humorous. There is a God shaped vacuum
in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only
by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
Never had that feeling. I always was calling out for proof from God and when he didn’t deliver I got upset.
Sad it took me until I was 31 to realize he was not real and the reason I always was questioning him was because deep down I knew it was all bullshit.
