I remember reading a comment on Facebook where some christians were talking about a baptism pool and one person was saying how she literally saw a demon flying out of a person's body as some form of black howling cloud.
When I was about 17 I was part of role playing group. The GM was a 28 year old christian called Steve who seemed OK at first but then started to proselytise to people more and more. I remember him asking me what I thought would happen if the car crashed on the way to Brighton and we all died. At the time I was inoculated with my own woo and told him that I would reincarnate, but he managed to convert all the other players in the end and so I dropped out the group.
But before it got to that stage, but after the other players converted, the rest of the group did start to slowly wonder whether Steve was in fact suffering from hallucinations as he had admitted to one or two of them that he often heard voices.
So I often wonder what religious people must think of those who really are schizophrenic, hearing voices and seeing things that aren't there. Do they just accept that their religion also attracts mad people but they don't say anything because it' at least means that they're christian? Or are they jealous and wish that they could also see and hear god in the same way?
