thanks everyone. The reason i was asking is because my mom said that if you believe in god that you will be happier. She is not religious at all.

Physical manifestations of religious beliefs are insane.  It disturbs me that the admission of the experience of these things is accepted as not only within reason but as extraordinary and commendable.  Truly freaky, like Jesus Camp.

bigot
oh be quiet.
What do people do at those camps?

Intense brainwashing, like military prison.

Good one, Coburn.  Christians are victims these days, aren't they?  The best way to handle an intellectual challenge is to call it a name and dismiss it.  Way to think independently.  Jesus Camp must have been a really fulfilling experience.
did you go to one?
