But trying to explain to someone what being "slain in the spirit" is, or what 'got the holy ghost" means just for sheer informational boredom is not my thing. See the wikipeida and youtube.

Hence why I never really ask you or other theists about that kind of thing. I don't really care and I'm not going to be swayed by the same things I've heard over and over again, so it's just a waste of both of our times, and probably more than a little condescending on my part since I would be trying to figure out why their claims were bull**** the entire time they were talking.

Considering just how susceptible the human brain is -- even perfectly normal human brains -- to delusions of all kinds, even if you were to have such an intense experience, I think the logical approach would be to first assume that your brain was malfunctioning until you found evidence to the contrary.
