Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?

On top of that, we know from neuroscience that the brain is highly flawed and can have severe problems parsing reality.  Any experience of the supernatural needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt.

That's precisely my point.  So how could God meaningfully reveal himself to a non-believer with everything you just mentioned?  Couldn't whatever you describe just be explained away?

Same as it ever was - revelation. I had one. I get to call myself prophet out of the deal. Of course I'm a flaming nutbag; I'm essentially certain it is part and parcel of the of the subscription.  Undecided
