Differentiating a religious experience/including hallucinations from a psyc disorder
#55
RE: Differentiating a religious experience/including hallucinations from a psyc disorder
I very much doubt they were in their 80s in that day and age to be honest. Collation of the bible was around the time period you suggest, but the individual accounts are traced closer between 50-100ad as far as I know, so also unlikely to be eyewitness, but written accounts of verbal diarrhea that passed for their faith.

I broadly agree, but its probably best its pointed out before a theist uses those inaccuracies to undermine your entire point.


Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

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.
