I would 100% agree. I would also say that if someone's best quotations need to come from a book that is clearly mostly fable / fairy tale then they might want to look for a more reputable source.
A few times it has been suggested that this thread is almost worthless. I'm erring on that side and only now posting when I literally have time to kill. It is a two hemisphere echo chamber with little but headbanging.
The non-believers position is often "you can't prove what doesn't exist" or "your belief is nothing but a fairy tale", with the believers being "if you haven't experienced it then you cannot possibly understand", or "science doesn't have all the answers".
If this is true, the two diametrically opposed positions can almost certainly never reach accord, hence a discussion is almost meaningless. However it is still better than two separate threads containing two echo chambers. One the believers and the other the non-believers, existing purely to pat each other on the back.
