See the definition of schizophrenia? You fit it well.

I am pro-logic, pro-intellect and pro-truth.
Absence is the immeasurable presence, and yes I can see it.
I've shown that I've broken the back of the intangible.
No, I won't fall into a trap because I don't have a biased blindspot.
I have no biased blindspot.
You sir, have a biased blindspot.
My logic is perfect.
So, have fun with your biased blindspot and inherent paradoxical logic. Mine is flawless.
Glad I could help open you up to reality.

You have NO IDEA. You can't link it to experience, cause you HAVE NO IDEA.
Personal witness and testimony mean nothing to you because (mwahaha) you HAVE NO IDEA.
Let's face it, lastoutfinitevoiceeternal, you're not going to be able to truly and truthfully comment on other people's experiences until you HAVE AN IDEA.
So I suggest we create a new branch of psychiatry in which your particular malady is included. We could call it "CLUELESS DISORDER."

Well, I must say, you are amazingly underpaid as a psychiatrist if you are able to diagnose people over the internet. Amazing you can do it with only an iota of forum posts to draw from.
Schizophrenia:
1. a severe mental disorder characterized by some, but not necessarily all, of the following features: emotional blunting, intellectual deterioration, social isolation, disorganized speech and behavior, delusions, and hallucinations.
2. a state characterized by the coexistence of contradictory or incompatible elements.
Not really, because atheists have faith that there is no G*d.
You’re thinking of agnostics, who do not have faith in anything. I will not be the judge to say whether their faith is blinde or not.

The quote humbly implies that you are wrong. You accepted ambiguous information, applied it to your logic, and miraculously, you were incorrect.
You’re logic, it seems, is not as perfect/flawless as you believe it to be.

In the experiment, the investigator (read scientist), must have faith that the cat is indeed in the box, BECAUSE, if he opens the box and observes the cat, it dies and the experiment is a failure and nothing has been proven. So for the experiment to work and the science proven, faith in the cat's existence must be maintained without seeing it.

you can't put it in the box, you have to have faith that's in there already. that's how the experiment works.
if you observe it, it changes state and you can't prove it ever had any other state than its changed state.

that's why schroedinger's cat was designed, to show how a light particle and light wave function when under observation.
if you observe it, it changes state, and you have no evidence that it was ever in its former state.
therefore, you have to have faith that it has the unseen state, which is not verifiable with observation. only the resulting end product is verifiable, which is what lead to the concept in the first place.

whew. tell ya what, let's just agree to disagree.
Schrödinger's famous thought experiment poses the question: when does a quantum system stop existing as a mixture of states and become one or the other? (More technically, when does the actual quantum state stop being a linear combination of states, each of which resemble different classical states, and instead begin to have a unique classical description?) If the cat survives, it remembers only being alive. But explanations of the EPR experiments that are consistent with standard microscopic quantum mechanics require that macroscopic objects, such as cats and notebooks, do not always have unique classical descriptions. The purpose of the thought experiment is to illustrate this apparent paradox: our intuition says that no observer can be in a mixture of states, yet it seems only cats can be such a mixture. Are cats required to be observers, or does their existence in a single well-defined classical state require another external observer? Each alternative seemed absurd to Albert Einstein, who was impressed by the ability of the thought experiment to highlight these issues; in a letter to Schrödinger dated 1950 he wrote:
You are the only contemporary physicist, besides Laue, who sees that one cannot get around the assumption of reality—if only one is honest. Most of them simply do not see what sort of risky game they are playing with reality—reality as something independent of what is experimentally established. Their interpretation is, however, refuted most elegantly by your system of radioactive atom + amplifier + charge of gun powder + cat in a box, in which the psi-function of the system contains both the cat alive and blown to bits. Nobody really doubts that the presence or absence of the cat is something independent of the act of observation.[4]
