I suppose I misread your intentions. You asked for experiences and disallowed what others may have experienced. Theism is the basis of the Christian faith. I do not buy the twisted myths of Christianity. Unless you can refer to literature far more more ancient than the bible and show how it was rewritten for Roman power and slavery to control the Jews who resisted the taxes and slavery. When you select a man's actual experience in life or a single book over all experiences it can hardly be called truth. That is the reason for my thoughts in the last post. I have no problem with people worshipping as they choose or choose not to worship. I do have problems with people being designated atheist just because they believe in a different concept of the creator. I do object to teaching of heaven or hell and a vindictive God that at a whim may punish you. I do object to brainwashing children as born sinners. As far as I am concerned the unforgivable sin or error is depending on others for your own development. I have been called atheist on SI many times from the very people who have no inkling of truth, when in fact they actually conceive of God as human rather than Spirit. Sorry I misread you for I welcome all free-thinkers including some you asked to be eliminated. The orginal myth and drama known as Pagan tells the true story of mans progress in life and spiritual perfection. Depending on one human who can't even be verified to do your work is the folly promoted by Christianity.
