Does this philosopher show what is most wrong on Y!A Religion?

Yet the great philosopher Bergson disagrees

“Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.”

― Henri Bergson

    If you extrapolate Bergson's ideas, then if you really, really believe you can fly, and being able to fly is so much better than not-flying - - then petty science and gravity will take a back seat, and you will be able to fly!

    Why don't you go give it a try.

    Meanwhile, I will stick with the mundane forces of physics.

    I am pretty sure Bergson is the guy who wrote about Romans having their way with Jesus’s tushy.

    Isn't Bergson the one who proposed the theory that Jesus was sodomized by the Romans?
