Lechery, Sir, it provokes and it unprovokes.

Whatever you experienced, you own strength of will and, perhaps support from your friends, got you through your difficulties. You are underestimating yourself.
Many people live through very difficult times in their lives without believing in your god. They survive because of their own determination and perhaps the assistance of friends, relatives and the medical profession.

You can say that again. It's the only thing I've ever seen from you that made a modicum of sense.

When you 'good people' want proof of God you are asking for an interaction with the Holy Spirit (Because as I have said here many times before what better 'proof' of God is their than of God Himself?)
...
This is the same sort of thing that believers in other religions say. There are Muslims who report the same sorts of experiences as you. Do you think that proves that Islam is correct? There are Hindus who report religious connections as well. Do you think that proves that Hinduism is correct?
However it may seem and feel to you, it is no evidence at all. Pretty much every religion has the same sort of "evidence" for them, too. Since religions all contradict each other, at most, only one religion could be right (though they could all be wrong). So religions that are false have exactly this same type of "evidence" that you are putting forth. Which means that it cannot possibly prove the religions to be true.

I went through more that one BIG trial. I hit the end of the world three times, and I made it through without the Holy Spirit. Does that make my experience evidence that it doesn't exist?

Holy spirit, holy ghost, holy ghoul. It describes a paranormal floating sheet like Casper the ghost.

Christians are now bending the bible to interpret the words differently because believing in "Who-Dat's!" has fallen out of favor. When the bible authors wrote ghost, they meant ghost because the superstitious idiots believed in ghosts.

Holy Ghost got to bang Mary.
Wonder how Joseph compared to that ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If the Holy Spirit is the force by which God interacts with the world, physicists would have detected it by now and would be suggesting using it to propel probes across the solar system.
