Subject: RE: BS: Non-belief in a god is not a religion
GfS, I personally have had "spiritual experiences" and I've come to realize later in hindsight that they were delusional.

" Also tested were atheists. That area of the brain(frontal lobe) did note light up at all."

I agree that this can happen. You can simulate a "religious" experience through electrodes, mushrooms or other devices. That doesn't mean that it's not delusional.

"because, you actually don't know what you are talking about."

Not true. Delusion does exist. Misinterpretation of psychological events do occur.



"don't let the bad behavior of some church fanatics, or shallow people, turn you off to being curious about a fuller human experience....because it is real!"

I'm sure it seems real to you but is unverifiable scientifically. Until you can prove this experience is not just delusional or misperceived, I'll continue to be skeptical.
