We've got folks on these boards that have had -two- fantastic "born again" style experiences (one on the way in, one on the way out)......and I get nada. What was the singlemost pernicious aspect of faith...the last thing you believed? The final redoubt of piety?
I've had plenty of odd experiences which I could quite easily take as "a sign" if I wasn't sceptically minded. Would you say you've had the same? Listening to anecdotes, it really doesn't take much to impress some people.
Stacey on Eastenders has been doing the perfect protrayal of a religious mind filled with fantasy, she sees "signs" in everything that happens. It is made obvious to the viewer that she has lost her mind, although she really doesn't sound any different to the totally entrenched, fantasy obsessed religious theist. (This is a small subset, if it's not obvious. I'm not saying all theists are remotely like this.)
