Abstract:
Grünbaum claims it is possible that all belief in God is a delusion, meaning a false belief which is engendered by irrational psychological motives. I dispute this on the grounds that in many cases belief in God is engendered by purely cultural factors, and this is incompatible with its being engendered by psychological ones. Grünbaum also claims that saying a culturally engendered belief cannot be a delusion makes social consensus the sole arbiter of reality. I dispute this on the grounds that we can say that socially engendered beliefs fail to be delusions because they fail to meet the psychological criterion, rather than because they are true.

Abstract:
This study has its background in the debate about religion and the existence of God, which has been an ongoing issue throughout the Western cultural tradition. Today´s information society has been an impact on the increasing interest for this subject. The essay’s main task is to accomplish a rhetorical analysis of two books, Illusionen om Gud (2008) by atheist Richard Dawkins and Guds dödgrävare (2010) by Christian John Lennox, in order to investigate the authors’ use of rhetorical strategies to influence their audience. The texts are studied using a qualitative approach with the theoretical basis of some well-defined rhetorical variables: ethical, logical and pathetic means of persuasion, propaganda, and the important factor that a message always is presented in a certain context in which the recipients both have their own values and subjects to general truths and common frames of reference. The analysis is intended to convey the rhetorical essence of each author, and uses this image to discuss aims and methods in the communication. Both authors demonstrate varying propagandistic strategies and base their arguments from common context and widely recognized frames of reference. Lennox almost exclusively uses methodological logo arguments, while Dawkins often uses the pathetic persuasion founds.

Abstract:
Humans are biologically evolved to identify sources of their own conscious experience and to distinguish between private inner speech and speech acts of external agents. So how are we to explain exceptions to our success in this capacity? How, in particular, can we account for hallucination of the voice of God? The chapter explores the question in detail. It distinguishes between hallucinations that result from religiously undomesticated breakdowns of source monitoring, in, say, schizophrenia, and those that are parts of culturally standard religious rituals and practices. The chapter identifies a range of cognitive systems that are connected with source monitoring and active in hallucination. These include, among others, theory of mind and linguistic processing systems. The chapter compares and contrasts hallucination of God’s voice with self-attribution of God’s thought in a delusion of thought insertion.

Abstract:
This chapter talks about the possibility of a life without religion, without God. Many people think of Darwinism as an alternative religion. Julian Huxley actually wrote a book called Religion without Revelation. Edward O. Wilson is of the same mind-set. Anyone who knows their scriptures has to be forcibly reminded of the Old Testament prophets on reading Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion. The chapter discusses the secular notion of purpose through history, the idea of social or cultural progress—something with a goal toward which history is directed. Steven Pinker argues that, despite suffering and other acts of violence, the world nevertheless is becoming a friendlier place. Science and technology seem as much the problem as the cure. This said, one can see progress in limited areas, and not just in science and technology.

Abstract:
This chapter explores māyā’s role in the absolute realm that is said to be a transformation of yoga-māyā, Kṛṣṇa’s internal energy, meaning the realm in which Kṛṣṇa personally resides along with his loving associates: those souls that want to live in full knowledge and remembrance of Kṛṣṇa (sambandha), that have chosen loving devotional service (bhakti) as the means (abhidheya), and that have found complete fulfillment and unlimited joy in unconditionally dedicating themselves to Kṛṣṇa’s happiness (prayojana). However, before journeying into that divine realm, this chapter first develops a nuanced understanding of the term bhakti. The chapter concludes that in the context of Kṛṣṇa’s līlā, māyā serves not as the potency of delusion, but rather as the energy that reconnects finite souls with the divine play of Kṛṣṇa. Instead of forgetting God, the souls now forget that he is God, so that they may play their role in relationship with him. Indeed, Kṛṣṇa himself voluntarily submits to the power of yoga-māyā, losing himself in this divine drama, thus increasing the intensity and intimacy of his devotees’ love for him.

Abstract:
This chapter shows how issues of decisions, divine guidance, discernment, and delusion are woven throughout 1 Corinthians. Paul’s community was shaped by Greco-Roman and Jewish views, but he presents a distinctive new way based on the Cross. As he himself told them, “I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor 2:2). Identification with the crucified and risen Christ gave access to the Spirit and a life of communion with God in various ways: through the scriptures (reinterpreted in the light of Christ), the liturgical life of the community (especially baptism and the Lord’s Supper), tradition, preaching, apostles and community leaders, service, co-suffering, and, above all, love. But this does not eclipse individual divine communion, calling, and discernment. Nor does it exclude rational thought, which in Paul’s approach is equally illumined by divine guidance to integrate rational and mystical.

Abstract:
IBM’s Watson got an avalanche of publicity when it won Jeopardy, but Watson is potentially far more valuable as a massive digital database for doctors, lawyers, and other professionals who can benefit from fast, accurate access to information. A doctor who suspects that a patient may have a certain disease can ask Watson to list the recognized symptoms. A doctor who notices several abnormalities in a patient, but isn’t confident about which diseases are associated with these symptoms, can ask Watson to list the possible diseases. A doctor who is convinced that a patient has a certain illness can ask Watson to list the recommended treatments. In each case, Watson can make multiple suggestions, with associated probabilities and hyperlinks to the medical records and journal articles that it relied on for its recommendations. Watson and other computerized medical data bases are valuable resources that take advantage of the power of computers to acquire, store, and retrieve information. There are caveats though. One is simply that a medical data base is not nearly as reliable as a Jeopardy data base. Artificial intelligence algorithms are very good at finding patterns in data, but they are very bad at assessing the reliability of the data and the plausibility of a statistical analysis. It could end tragically if a doctor entered a patient’s symptoms into a black-box data-mining program and was told what treatments to use, without any explanation for the diagnosis or prescription. Think for a moment about your reaction if your doctor said, I don’t know why you are ill, but my computer says, “Take these pills.” I don’t know why you are ill, but my computer recommends surgery. Any medical software that uses neural networks or data reduction programs, such as principal components and factor analysis, will be hard-pressed to provide an explanation for the diagnosis and prescribed treatment. Patients won’t know. Doctors won’t know. Even the software engineers who created the black-box system won’t know. Nobody knows. Watson and similar programs are great as a reference tool, but they are not a substitute for doctors because: (a) the medical literature is often wrong; and (b) these errors are compounded by the use of data-mining software.

Abstract:
Nigel Richards is a New Zealand–Malaysian professional Scrabble player (yes, there are professional Scrabble players). His mother recalled that, “When he was learning to talk, he was not interested in words, just numbers. He related everything to numbers.” When he was 28, she challenged him to play Scrabble: “I know a game you’re not going to be very good at, because you can’t spell very well and you weren’t very good at English at school.” Four years later, Richards won the Thailand International (King’s Cup), the world’s largest Scrabble tournament. He went on to win the U.S., U.K., Singapore, and Thailand championships multiple times. He won the Scrabble World Championship in 2007, 2011, and 2013. (The tournament is held every two years and he was runner-up in 2009). In May 2015, Richards decided to memorize the 386,000 words that are allowed in French Scrabble. (There are 187,000 allowable words in North American Scrabble.) He doesn’t speak French beyond bonjour and the numbers he uses to record his score each turn. Beyond that, Richards paid no attention to what the French words mean. He simply memorized them. Nine weeks later, he won the French-language Scrabble World Championship with a resounding score of 565–434 in the championship match. If he had studied 16 hours a day for 9 weeks, he would have an average of 9 seconds per word to memorize all 386,000 words in the French Scrabble book. However, Richards reportedly doesn’t memorize words one by one; instead, he goes page by page, with the letters absorbed into his memory, ready to be recalled as needed when he plays Scrabble. Richards played as quickly and incisively in the French tournament as he does in English-language tournaments, giving no clue that he cannot actually communicate in French. For experts like Richards, Scrabble is essentially a mathematical game of combining tiles to accumulate points while limiting the opponent’s opportunities to do the same and holding on to letters that may be useful in the future. The important skills are an ability to recognize patterns and calculate probabilities. There is no need to know what any of the words mean.
