Unbelievable

[Jenny A]

You never know, I might have been just having a brain malfunction.

I'm pretty sure I do know. I'm just not sure I'd call it a malfunction. People appear wired to make connections where there are none. Most people have experienced hallucinations but visual and auditory. The malfunction is in thinking. I've heard voices I can't find in the house and seen people in my own back yard that turned out to be tree stumps. What I am sure of is that if there was a god who spoke to people, they'd all hear a similar message. That fact that what god people see and hear suggests hallucinations. Like UFO sightings, god encounters track the cultural history of the those having the encounter. That suggests that neither the UFOs or the gods are real. If there were a god speaking to people, you'd expect the same religion to develop independently on the continents. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The difference between you and I is that if I see a fairy in the backyard I look again. That it turns out to be a tree stump isn't a disappointment.
