(January 24, 2017 at 1:36 pm)Whateverist Wrote: STT, I think the 'miracle' shows that when a lot of people share the same belief and expect to see the same sort of thing then given any sort of unusual occurrence those beliefs can color in the experience to suit those expectations.  Either that or you'll have to decide which god, dragon or mysterious force had a hand in the event you mentioned.  Must be hard to maintain your agnosticism when the beliefs which were instilled in you from an early age keep drawing you back.  Good luck.

Not only that, but once some people start reporting a "religious experience", you are going to get lots of others who didn't see a thing claiming that they did so they can feel special and part of the in-group.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
