Which is why you believe in fairy tales and the rest of us believe in reality.

WoW is still part of the same physical system called reality that the rest of us inhabit. As I said earlier, your argument relies on equivocation. In this case what it means for something to be 'real'. WoW does not exist in a vacuum. It is part of a larger system called a society and an economy. You are placing arbitrary limits on one part of a system, defining it as a special case for no reason and using the fallacious argument of false equivalence. You do love your fallacious arguments don't you.

How is having an out of body experience not a spiritual one?
The point being that all your spiritual experiences are only 'spiritual' because your brain has told you that it is.
A simpler explanation, is that your brain is misinterpreting what is happening. Aroura's example demonstrates this. She thought it was spiritual. It was actually sleep paralysis. This is a known phenomenon. It can be demonstrated. There is no need to go any further than a physical explanation. There is no evidence suggesting that we should.
