Atheism liberated me from pointless thinking,and made my life enjoyable.

[Dorian Gray]

So you believe that all theists are mentally ill? Presidents, doctors, lawyers, teachers, businessmen, etc - all productive members of society, not patients in a mental facility or unable to cope in a normal society. If a person is hopelessly living in a world of drugs and alcohol, and then turns around his life and credits it to his experience with God, that's not evidence of God? If I hear person after person telling me about God has changed their lives, I guess I can't believe them unless I do an experiment in a controlled environment. Even though I'm the one experiencing God, I really can't believe myself. You can refuse to believe because you see no evidence, but you're going too far in trying to discredit the testimonies, off hand, of rational, functioning, honest people about their own experiences.

People of no less faith have attributed turning away from drugs because of Allah, Zeus, animal sacrifice, total eclipses, and all kinds of Things. It can't be all of them could it? Are these people irrational to a Christian? Looking at this from a neutral point of view, it would seem to logically suggest that since so many "spiritual awakenings" result from such a wide and conflicting variety of "causes" it is more likely the case that people are assigning an agent to something that they find inexplicable.
