I agree. If someone is claiming to see and hear angels and/or god... they are either full of shit or a possible schizophrenic. Simply believing in god is not the same thing, but there is something causing that person to believe and I, personally, suspect there are psychological and/or bio-chemical causes for it. I'm not saying that believers are in any way 'diseased' or in need of a 'cure' (especially if that belief is hurting no one), but the point of scientific research isn't to change things... only to figure out 'why'.
