[W:843] How religious thinking works

You can't share any of your either. There are two basic reasons for that. "Experiences' can not be shared. Plus, what you think is supernatural born-again experience is surging dopamine.
I just had a supernatural experience with Lord Krishna.

And you know all about the Holy Spirit, right?

I do know that there is no proof of the existence of the holy ghost.
 
Tsk tsk. You also seem completely unaware of any supernatural born-again experience that you can share. If you had one you'd KNOW it was real, and you wouldn't go kicking a can down the pike.

This has absolutely nothing to do with you thinking you know what I think. However, it is true that I've never had a supernatural born-again experience with a god, a prophet, a pastor, or for that matter, the force, but that is immaterial.

So, you do not have a specific "born-again" experience. That's what I thought.

I just told you that I did indeed undergo the "born again" experience (and I appreciate the fact that you appropriately placed that term within quotation marks), which was explained by surges of dopamine at the behest of those who played along.

Which is what I had thought all along as well. Funny how surging dopamine can be used to confirm our biases. Whew! Like a drug!

The Holy Spirit bears witness of Jesus Christ, not unbelief.

That is an unproven zealous religious theory; but such feelings can easily be explained by surging dopamine coupled with religious confirmation bias.
