The other day I was reading the Qur'an because I was feeling unsettled and it helped. After I read one of the verses I felt the most intense, best feeling I have ever had, and I knew it was Allah right then. I imagine this must be what Paradise feels like, and it is awesome. Does anyone else have any similar experiences?

Nope.

I don't know, honestly. I've had some feelings that definitely were spiritual, but if they were God is a mystery to me. Nevertheless, they've kind of suggested to me that there's something out there, whatever it is.

I guess I'll just have to work on trying to have another one.

I've definitely had spiritual moments. I may look down on religion often, but I think that probably has a lot to do with my inability to explain these moments. Very odd, very unique. I've never had 'em in a Church, Mosque or Synagouge. I've experienced it once on a country road, twice in a parking lot and once at work. Very unique. A feeling of Euphoria that was totally unwarranted, from any rational explanation, but it was more than just euphoria, it was something else. It was some sort of comfort that I couldn't explain. Very unique.

Just show me on the doll where god touched you.

Yes I have, quite a few times. I was once very in tune spiritually. I was in prayer almost continually. I don't mean on my knees with my hands together, I mean in a spiritual sense and my thinking. Best I've ever felt and been. I'm not in that peaceful spirit filled way now and haven't been for a few years, but I know that connection is still there. And I wasn't going to ellaborate on this, because I don't like talking about my faith and especially not religion since most do not understand the spiritual part and religion just causes arguments. But anywho.. there ya go.

Good for you.

Twice or more.

Just show me on the doll where god touched you.

It's too painful a memory to recollect.:(

I've gotten them in a church as well as in places like open fields, the woods or under the stars at night. It seems to be dependent on your state of mind more than anything; I imagine God or the spiritual only talks to us when our minds are ready to really listen.

Every time I have an...

Oh, forget it.

The rest of the time I'm an atheist.

No, but I think I felt up Tiamat once, if that counts for anything.

Every time I have an...

The rest of the time I'm an atheist.

Ad-hoc theism?

Yes, I have had a similar experience. The closest I can come to describe it is by saying that I experienced the reality described by the Sufi as 'all things that are, are light'.

A gift.

In answer to the OT: no

*stupid reply button still foils my attempts to reply to a thread quickly without having to hunt the page for it*

Yes, I have. I'm not particularly religious myself - that is, I believe without a doubt that there is a higher/divine power, but I've yet to find the religion that suits me, and really, I refuse to become part of something that causes so much strife between people, so I don't know if I ever will settle for one explanation. I believe that they're all true.

But, yes. There is one particular moment which will forever convince me that there is a god. I was seven; I was looking for my grade two reading project. I searched every single corner of my room, took every book off every shelf I owned, and finally, ended up in tears. My mom helped me look but to no avail. After giving up my efforts, I closed my eyes in frustration and asked God to prove that he existed; and when I opened them and sat down on my bed, my project was lying on my pillow. Just lying there. And I may have been a mere seven years of age, but I've never been so sure that God existed in my life. And so, I kept my promise. I've believed ever since, and every so often, I feel him/her/it all over again.

Sorry Soviestan, Nazis don't get into heaven.

How would you know? And Soviestan isn't a Nazi anyway. See this is why I tend to stay away from faith/religion threads. What an asshole.

Where is the Poll?

Yes. It is part of human psychology, at least under present conditions, and is hardly evidence either way.

the general sentiment of "kill the jews" that winds its way through his threads and the quote from "da furor" in his sig tend to suggest otherwise.

I have felt moments of elation, usually while walking in rain or snow. I attribute those moments to being able to feel my place in the universe.

I wonder if there is a measurable difference between the experiences of skeptics and believers? Perhaps a skeptical experience might be more likely to be actually spiritual due to the fact that it is less likely to happen and they are less sensitive to suggestion?

I'm interested, to say the least. Spiritual experience should be studied scientifically to see what physical processes cause it, if any. I'd also be interested in the results of experiments involving ketamine or psilocybin; apparently, people insist on those experiences being real even though they know these drugs produce these effects.

After all, if you can find a way to create a direct line to God, it would be quite helpful.

I've had rants myself on jews.. not to kill em all, but that they cause a lot of problems in the world. That doesn't make me a Nazi. But I must say.. I know it's wrong.. or not good for ones spirit to arbor resentment, or hatred toward anyone. That's why I'm not talking about it anymore.. there is no point and it makes me feel bad. Doesn't change that I still think some things .. but by not letting out a rip on the subject the thoughts leave my mind, and I'm not spending time thinking about what I said that further concrete the feelings.

I've had what could be termed religious experiences when I was a theist as well as after I decided that there probably is no god. Both felt the same. It's a product of brain chemistry, not feeling god. Besides, feeling a co-worker can get you in a shitload of trouble. Imagine the penalties for feeling God.

There is a small bit of research into it whick kinda makes sense.Here is a ouick article.

I never said kill the jews. If you mean Israelis, Israelis arent all jews in general. And the fact I quote Hitler doesnt mean anything, I didn't use the quote because it was Hitler's, I use it because it rings true.

Maybe not a Nazi, but anti-Semitic tendencies.

No, I've never felt God. I've had experiences where I felt like he was speaking to me through events or through things I have read, but I've never physically, seen/felt God. Honestly, if I did, it might freak me out.

Never had one. Always wanted one. It would be nice to know there's something on the other side.

Ad-hoc theism?

Well, I'm not sure about that actually...it just happens to be the only time I exclaim " OH GOD!!!!"...

I'm very interested in the idea that religious belief is a function of the brain; being hard-wired for faith is a pretty interesting idea that definitely merits further investigation. For some reason, people see this as ruling out God because it's natural and origin; I see it as a pretty interesting spiritual insight that might enhance our religious views rather than harm them.

One might draw interesting teleological, although unscientific, ideas from the evolutionary origins and advantages of faith. To say the least, God isn't ruled out by these findings.

Well, I'm not sure about that actually...it just happens to be the only time I exclaim " OH GOD!!!!"...

Well, there are Gods who are associated with that...

And the fact I quote Hitler doesnt mean anything,


It always means something.

Discovery magazine did a great arcticle on this very topic this month (http://www.discover.com/issues/dec-06/features/god-experiments/).

Even if there is a God, it doesn't meant there isn't physiological reasons we feel what we feel.

Well, there are Gods who are associated with that...

Hmm .... those Goddesses I could maybe worship.

Discovery magazine did a great arcticle on this very topic this month (http://www.discover.com/issues/dec-06/features/god-experiments/).

Cool. There's a lot of work to do here, but the evidence so far is pretty interesting. I really see this as helping religious belief rather than harming it.

Even if there is a God, it doesn't meant there isn't physiological reasons we feel what we feel.

That's true. It would make no sense for there to be no physiological reason for it; when we exist on Earth, our bodies are physical as are our brains. If God made the universe, and gave us the capacity to understand him, then it stands to reason that he works through physical processes when possible.

If the "soul" exists (which I think it does in some form beyond the physical world), I'd say that this research will help us understand it a lot better.

Hmm .... those Goddesses I could maybe worship.

Oh, hell yeah. Now that would be heaven...

i've had a few moments like that where you feel absolutely amazing

but as soon as it's over you realise the most basic skepticism (scientific or no)crushes any idea that it's a greater power down to a tiny spec

Does anyone else have any similar experiences?
Well... kinda. It's the same basic experience, but I managed to regain my composure during the event.

Imagine, if you will, that you've just opened a door to the entire of the world's knowledge being played out right in front of you. It's something like that. Needless to say, it's an unusual sensation: an overwhelming presence of wisdom that seems to prod at your very sense of self-awareness.

I have my own theories as to what it was. In any case, I can no longer take either declarations or denunciations of a poorly defined God for granted after it.

Remember what happened the last time you didn't get enough sleep...

:confused:

Maybe. When I go to church, I feel really happy and suddenly everything seems a little better and a little happier than it did before, and a little bit more manageable.

Yup.I was manically depressed one time,a fair while ago,and I prayed to God-next day,I've never felt happier.Like,ever,it was really intense.Also,one time,at my group,they set up a sort of prayer room-I felt really close to God then,it was rather quite amazing :)

yes, multiple times, and multiple Gods. I also regularly meet the Goddess in my dreams (and no, most of them are not those kind of dreams :rolleyes: ).

BTW on the day you felt happier than ever, how did you know it wasn't just a manic phase of your depression?

If I did, I probably wouldn't believe it was God.

i felt god when i was 17. it was great. i had a big religious experience that changed my life. basically what i discovered was that i was god.

He's serious.

i felt god when i was 17. it was great. i had a big religious experience that changed my life. basically what i discovered was that i was god.So how are humans supposed to worship you?

Err... how many layers of humor did you intend to put there?
Because there seems to be more then there are supposed to be.

no humour. i am god. but i dont need worshipers. i still exist. i'm much better than past saviours, like jesus, john the baptist, mohammad, simon magus apollonius. i wouldnt say i'm better than lugh. lugh was pretty class. but lugh hasnt been widely woshipped in awhile so i think i could beat him via new mass support. but i know people who do. i'll see if wikipedia has a lugh link. if anyone is interested in lugh. dont google lugh. internet has an abundant amount of lies of lugh. by the way that were i took the name gorias from. lugh went to the city gorias in tir na óg and a got a spear.

Does anyone else have any similar experiences?

nope. i've felt love and that was pretty intense and powerful when it first... "hit" me. though i've been close to feeling spiritual stuff, but then i was majorly high and it was probably just the grass talking :p

So how are humans supposed to worship you?

not very much needed. although through song is appreciated. but really dont piss me off and you'll on my good side.

i felt god when i was 17. it was great. i had a big religious experience that changed my life. basically what i discovered was that i was god.

so basically, you just admitted to feeling yourself up... :p

Yes, every time I pray. I lose all sense of awareness, and it feels as if something just sweeps over me, and I feel energized, and even though my eyes are closed, its like i see the heaven open up, and i am right before God. It truly is amazing. And for me to experience this everytime I pray, that leaves no room for doubt in my mind about if there is a God or not.

ah yes wikipedia had it! they didnt have the full story about him joining the tuatha de danann but still good enough.
link! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugh)

Nope not at all.

I do not believe there is a 'god'.

Where did this 'god' come from...

If he was always here, then the same answer can be
used for this question...

Then how did everything come to be...
the answer...
It always has.

no humour. i am god. but i dont need worshipers. i still exist. i'm much better than past saviours, like jesus, john the baptist, mohammad, simon magus apollonius. i wouldnt say i'm better than lugh. lugh was pretty class. but lugh hasnt been widely woshipped in awhile so i think i could beat him via new mass support. but i know people who do. i'll see if wikipedia has a lugh link. if anyone is interested in lugh. dont google lugh. internet has an abundant amount of lies of lugh. by the way that were i took the name gorias from. lugh went to the city gorias in tir na óg and a got a spear.So if you are god, could you please tell me what the true nature of Haile Selassie is?

...he only makes me call him God.

so basically, you just admitted to feeling yourself up... :p

my face every few minutes. i continiously wash my face and hands.

Last night when me and my new boyfriend kissed for the first time.

Last night when me and my new boyfriend kissed for the first time.You felt god when you should have felt your boyfriend? :eek:

what do you mean? the emporor of ethiopia for some time? he seemed a bit mad.

what do you mean? the emporor of ethiopia for some time? he seemed a bit mad.Rastafarians claim he's an incarnation of god. You know, the real Messiah ... You should know.

Continiously washing them... i wonder why... :D

yeah i know about that. i just didnt get your question right. not a fan of the rastas.

it sounds silly. but i'm really afraid of germs.

yeah i know about that. i just didnt get your question right. not a fan of the rastas.And you try to tell me you're a god?

And you try to tell me you're a god?

long and complicated. last time i tried to explain someone tried to use the same arrguement to say they were god. but i thought what they were saying was irrelevent missuse of what i was saying. hard to explain. easier if i was talking to you directly.

it sounds silly. but i'm really afraid of germs.

GOD??? AFRAID OF GERMS???

so much for Divinity... :p

it sounds silly. but i'm really afraid of germs.

ANd you are a god?

GOD??? AFRAID OF GERMS???

i just dont like the idea of little thing that i cant see. gods can get hurt too. jesus died. irish gods can have thier heads cut off. but everyone gets to go to same afterlife so thats ok.

Maybe by talking to me directly? Right now? Let me see and hear you in a vision, will you?

err... Jesus was not a God, but the Son of God. Demi-God if you will.According to who?

jesus was the suposed embodiment of the christian/jewish god. depending on slant of christianity you are from.

ANd you are a god?

"When someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!!" :D

not a fan of the rastas.Because they also claim to be divine? You know I'n'I...

"When someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!!" :D...somehow I have a faint memory of this sentence... :D

Can you please render any evidence for your divinity? Maybe by talking to me directly? Right now? Let me see and hear you in a vision, will you?

i dont consider posting on a site as talking to you directly. i communicate using mostly tone of my voice and body movement.
i'm not claiming to be the one describe as the christian god.
my vision is probably the same as most peoples. everyone running around happy(or lying down, whatever), posibly naked.

Because they also claim to be divine? You know I'n'I...

no its the whole no blood transfusion(and other important medical things) for the hardcore.

According to who?Jesus. He never called himself God.

jesus was the suposed embodiment of the christian/jewish god. depending on slant of christianity you are from.
an Embodiment, not God himself. on one end of the stretch... an Avatar. on the other, a Prophet. neither aspect is GOD himself.

Jesus. He never called himself God.Even if he did, what would that prove? Everybody can claim to be something but there is no reason to believe any of them unless they can bring forward evidence.

???

if Jesus didn't call himself God, then he never made that claim to be god.

which fails Gorias defense about why he is afraid of Germs.

hense, Gorias is only god in the Eyes of Gorias.

Not uniquely so, though. You're just one of many.

Of course, right after finishing up a nice sit on the porcelain throne :p

Does anyone else have any similar experiences?

How do you mean "Have I felt God?" I fell His presence and providence on me continually. I feel His pleasure with me and His favor with me when I do as I ought.

But, you are probably talking about a very distinct instance that was very unlike the other "more regular" (for an extreme lack of a better phrase) feelings. I've had three.

The first was when I committed my life to Christ. I must be honest, I don't remember it very well except that there was a lot of weeping. So I was saved, but I wasn't living as I should have been. That was in 6th grade.

The second time was at a prayer meeting. That's when I began to get serious about my faith. Instead of being a convert, I was beginning to be a disciple. I remember I had a very nervous, anxious, and excited feeling and the more I prayed the stronger it got. That was in 10th grade.

The last one was at an Aquire the Fire. There was a lot of controversy in my church about the youth group and I was at this event with the very unpopular leaders. I had the sudden urgent need to pray with one of the leaders (something which never happens, I hate praying in front of people, God help me with that) and it was around that time that I can truly call myself a disciple without feeling guilty. And that's also when I began to speak in tongues. That was at the end of 11th grade.

Anyway that's what was happening at those times and the circumstances in which I felt God.

Yes. Reading the Bible.

You felt god when you should have felt your boyfriend? :eek:

Oh, I felt my boyfriend...that's why I felt the touch of the divine.

Every time I have an...

Oh, forget it.

The rest of the time I'm an atheist.

haha.....in Tamil (my native language), orgasm is called "sitrinbam" - small pleasure and Moksha/liberation/samadhi/nirvana is called "perinbam" - big pleasure. Osho (Rajneesh) has written more about how orgasm is a pathway to God. Makes some interesting reading...

I read this as: Ever felt good?

And I thought the OP must be really depressed.

I felt what I think was "God" and "understood" that everything was connected "knew" that everything is really One

I've had this experience quite a few times as well as others that were a bit different (as if channeling universal knowledge from a spiritual database :confused: and others)

No.

A few years ago I was in a bit of a religious funk...I had been searching for something, but I wasn't sure what it was. I was sure Atheism was no longer for me, but nothing that organized religion had to offer was doing the trick.

I slowly began developing my own ideas...nothing dogmatic, just some basic thoughts. I didn't really develop them beyond what I needed for my own satisfaction, nor did I share them with anyone...

...until one night I got into a debate with a Christian friend. Harsh words were exchanged by both of us, and he openly questioned my beliefs and their basis.

I went home later that evening, still angry over the conversation. I recall standing in the kitchen, and thinking to myself "He can think whatever he likes, but neither he, nor anyone else, has cause to call my faith into question."

THAT is when it happened...that instant...like a supernova...like a nuclear blast.

I've never felt anything like it before or since...but I am now thoroughly convinced there is a God. :)

Oh, I felt my boyfriend...that's why I felt the touch of the divine.What indications did you have that it was "the touch of the divine"? (I don't consider a gut feeling as an indication, it must be something more substantial.)

Nope. Never have, and probably never will, because frankly such experiences are nonsense in my opinion.

I have had euphoric experiences, but I would not attribute them to some divine influence as I am an atheist.

Never felt God. Felt the Goddess once. Then she slapped me and told me to keep my hands to myself :(




Totally worth it though.

I felt the most intense, best feeling I have ever had, and I knew it was Allah right then.

Wasn't that an anxiety and adrenalin mix?

Once i felt like god after i drowned an ant nest with water then all the little critters came out, but i had cover the ant nest with a plastic box with a little hole on the top so when they ran out they have no where to go, i bugsprayed them, at the end of it, it was a sea of black

Yep, everytime I touch myself.:D

Awesome. I just got 199 bounces(all together, with 41 being the most at once), with 2 accidents and 313137 points.

Yep, everytime I touch myself.:D

A long as it's even then. :)

I was thinking deeply once and, all of a sudden, I just got it and I stopped thinking entirely for a couple of minutes.

I think thats what enlightenment must feel like or maybe I just finally figured out how to really meditate.

Other than that, no. I've never had an experience that made me think to myself, "now I'm sure the Christian God exists." (or any other god)

The Goddess doesn't let me touch her because I've got cold hands.

Just show me on the doll where god touched you.



heheh ohh sorry, couldn't help it, it just sorta burts out.:D

Never felt God. Felt the Goddess once. Then she slapped me and told me to keep my hands to myself :(


Totally worth it though.

Heh I get to chase her around the house quite offten. Now thats fun!

You can, but it's not likely to do you any good.

Yeah of course, but you'll have to get you're own woman into whos body the Godess manifests.

Heh I just had my Godess on the phone, she is in a bookstore looking for some crimbo pressies for me, she is with her Mum.

So I asked her if her Mum was standing next to her and when she said yeah, I asked her what colour underware she was wearing.

Hahah Man I have never had her get off the phone so quickly, damn me but I'll have to remember that.;)

I felt God crawling on my ankle while I was in a movie theater in Uvalde, Texas.

No, I have not.

What indications did you have that it was "the touch of the divine"? (I don't consider a gut feeling as an indication, it must be something more substantial.)

Love, my friend, is the touch of the divine. We, as a species, are always at our best in love and "gut" feelings are what our Christian friends would call "leaps of faith."

Of course, I'm pagan. To me love is the best and most reliable connection to the divine.

today, in government class, we colored in little snow men and what not, and i made mine look like the prophet mohommad. is that what you're talking about?
