who claim their delusion religion is reasonable and that there is evidence to support such claims.
[]Folly is theirs who represent the value of life as dependent on the reality of special illusions, which they have religiously adopted. To discover that a former belief is unfounded is to change nothing of the realities of existence.
Weii said. What will probably change is the way realities of existence are approached once the illusion/delusion is removed.

As it should. When someone has visions, they will be interpreted to be an overzealous brain doing its stuff and not ghosts trying to kill you.
How are you, dear friend?

Been fine – a lightning strike near my house fried my router, had to send for a new one, so I’ve been offline. It also zapped my phone charger, so I’ve been pretty much incommunicado.

Should I suggest you get a lightening arrester? too.
Good to know you are well.

The lightening was from me. Sorry, arch. I was shaking my hand, trying to get the bolt off (amongst other things) and some of the electricity went a’flyin’ off (along with a few other things). I do apologize. 🙂

Actually, about 25 years ago, during a hot summer, I was sitting on my couch, next to my running air conditioner, when a bolt of lightening struck the A/C. The thing popped out of the window, smoking, and landed right next to me. Burned out the wiring all along the side of the building where it struck. Quite pricey to fix, too. True story. Probably what makes me so irresistible to lightening now.

Haha. Could that be the time you got attached to lightening?

Could be. Quite the memorable moment, I’ll tell you that.
