It’s not usual or intended for this blog to be of religious topics, but since these modest* words may be considered in other lights, I’ll let it pass.
But as I was saying, there are times where you have an epiphany, even if that word is to grand for the experience you had. It could be so minor as the recollection of a sin or grudge long forgotten but remembered in the midst of the Lord’s prayer. It could be something truly modest which confirms your belief.
Yet as you dwell on the issue for a moment you remember the confirmation bias; that what you look for is what you find, not because it’s true, but because that’s what you see. And for a moment you have doubts as to whether your experience was noteworthy at all.
Well, I’d just like to mention that the bias works both ways. While god may be seen in things he doesn’t touch, he may be ignored in things he does. If you seek to doubt an event, if you seek to find your own biases you might just confirm that those biases exist. At the end of the day; be rational. Take everything with a grain of salt, yet continue to listen none-the-less.
*Ok, the diction and prose doesn’t exactly sound like it tries to be modest. But I accidently do that when trying to be specific/true to what I mean. That doesn’t mean it works…
