Differentiating a religious experience/including hallucinations from a psyc disorder
#2
RE: Differentiating a religious experience/including hallucinations from a psyc disorder
You quote a report which says this about your religious experience;

"The connection between religiousness and psychosis has been verified historically. In the early times of psychiatry, Phillipe Pinel stated that religious fanatacism may be a causative factor of madness and that mad people should be deprived of the symbols and practices of their religion and taught philosophical and historical knowledge. Emil Kraepelin registered the very frequent presence of mystical and religious content in his psychotic patients,"

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.
