RE: Differentiating a religious experience/including hallucinations from a psyc disorder

March 20, 2012 at 12:17 pm (This post was last modified: March 20, 2012 at 12:21 pm by The Grand Nudger.)

I hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but there is no such thing as a "verified spiritual manifestation". There aren't any "verified spirit(s)" to manifest themselves in the first place. Not only have believers failed to produce even the simplest demonstration of the mechanism, they've failed to produce the object in question. There isn't even a plausible suggestion that approaches an explanation for either.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
