(January 21, 2015 at 8:53 am)Faith No More Wrote: I haven't read this entire thread, but have we established what a religious experience is?

To quote Justice Potter Stewart,

"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."

Tongue

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
