Far be for me to belittle or make light of the religious beliefs of others, but it appears to me that those that are born again or claim a new closeness to God inevitably come to this psychological position out of a frustration in understanding of the things and experiences in life or their individual lives and come to believe the answers lie within one religion or another. Many are ingrained with these beliefs from birth, but only a few accept them blindly until they experience the confusion and frustrations of life which motivates them to be born again or find God.
While those that reject religious beliefs, do so for the same frustrations, but blame religions for them.
All religions speak of a metaphysical soul that during their individual lives is under their control. But in essence belongs to a metaphysical god that demands under threat, blind obedience to his will, and it is the various leaders of these religions that will tell us what those demands are, because they are more enlightened than the masses.
We all speak of the mind of man or the soul of man, which are for all intense and purpose metaphysical states of our beings, but what most don't appear to understand is they are most likely one and the same metaphysical aspect or state of the human condition.
The difference between these two states is the difference between objective thought or thinking and subjective thought or thinking. Neither has a place in the physical brain but is associated only by the perceptions of our physical bodies.
The only further comments I have, are that truth, reality or what one might call the self-evident, cannot be found via subjective inquiry in thought but only via objective reasoning in thought.
