an argument for atheism that bothered me

There was only one in the past few years.

It was an argument from experience.

I was availing of the services of the Irish hospital system during 2019.

A Pakistani anaesthetist at Tallaght hospital was giving me oxygen prior to my operation.

She told me her name was Jamie, probably short for Jameela which means beautiful.

She said: "You're getting oxygen. Now I'm just going to give you a different type of oxygen."

I blinked.

The operation was over and I was being revived five hours later.

During the blink of my eye I had no conception of the passage of time.

I began to wonder did the gap in my awareness of time imply that there was some truth to atheistic notions about the body being a machine.

I found the whole consideration most seditious.
