That is one of the main reasons that I am not bitter at my religious upbringing even though I no longer believe in what I was taught. My life has been a journey, a search for truth. <br /><br />As to the rest, concerning your experience, I have no insight there. I was not a part of a charismatic branch of Christianity when I was still a Christian and most of the people in the churches I was in would have looked upon such an incident with similar skepticism that I hold toward it. <br /><br />This is not to say, however, that you did not experience it. I have no doubt that you experienced something. I couldn't begin to fathom what it was, but it had to be something. The problem is that our minds are so easily fooled by our senses that it can be hard to figure fact from reality. It is just as likely that you experienced some sort of hypnotism as it is that you experienced something supernatural. I'm not saying that you did, just that it is likely.<br /><br />I hope that you continue to seek truth, and continue to examine the things you believe and are told critically. Also, enjoy your journey! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
