    So, basically, your suggestion is to induce hallucinations to meet a god? Nice! These narcs are the people who Know. They saw god, so now they kill and steal for more… god. I like your approach! Rhymes well with the history of the church.

      Don’t be so eager to dismiss.

      Experiment first, analyze second. That’s science.

        Oh, I did make a few experiments in this field over my life ) Agreed though that i played too much to the spirit of this community.

        Still fail to understand 2 things:

        • how is it relevant to the OP?
        • what makes the results of these experiences a good representation of religion and/or faith?

        Happy to hear your thoughts.

        Having read some of your other comments here, let me try to rephrase what you say and please tell me which one better reflect what you mean:

        1. This particular representation of a religion is bad. However, if one meditate and have other forms of spiritual experience, they would probably come up with a better one that would confirm existence of a god, that would be directly relevant to this person.

        2. All religions are not worth it (given that you are not referring to any other recognised confession), go smoke some weed and be kind to people around you.

        Happy to follow the second one! )
