    Saturnus makes a great point about feelings being misleading. Many Christians also say they have "Jesus in their hearts" or they "feel the presense". People just say those things, because they are so infatuated by their beliefs.
    You should get the point. I see it is way too blurry from your point of view. Comparison of a guy's tricks derived with gadgets and plans with Muhammed's miracles humiliate me. You may be atheist but should be - as a human being - aware of what the sensitive points that should be discriminated from "the subject of discussion" and "I feel funny today" thing are.

    You just explained the difference between believers and non-believers. Some can "feel" the presence of God or the Prophets, and some just do not. They can get how one can believe something that dictates, writes a fiction and what's more, is unvisible and unperceivable.

    I can really understand the non-believer's way of thought. You may just not get it. But I do. Keeping the "right" or "wrong" things aside - I never tried to judge or make fun of your mentality as you do to believers, and I will not intend it ever - believing is all about the "being another person". We are all different..

    P.S. I did not mention these to avoid discussion. I several times sat down and tried to think about how a non-believer may think, how he/she may give meanings to aspects of life. That's why I say "I can understand you".
