Thanks. But I don't understand what you mean when you say that "Adding in all that you missed makes perfect sense too". Can you clarify?
I meant it was a very one sided take, not at all balanced. You couldn't say absolutely that no one experiences God, and so the opposite could also be concluded. To be fair, you should include all possibilities. You also put a very negative spin on your conclusions, which doesn't necessarily follow. For those Christians who are actually sane, this is the opposite of what they experience.
Religious experience could be misinterpreted information, or it could be correctly interpreted information. The mimicking of base human instinct could be entirely positive and not negative. In my experience it's entirely positive. You may have experienced it differently.
