Politically charged Quote of the Day (and ... The Meaning of Life)

But are your own personal experiences any more of a leap of faith than if you had no such experiences?

Like Kevy, I have been into Wicca, as it is a body of beliefs and expressions that tapped into energies I had most definitely experienced. Yet, I cannot "prove" or demonstrate in any way that those experiences were not themselves delusional.

I know they have not been. But is the faith I have in spiritual energy any more grounded in truth if it's based on my personal experience rather than being based on an idea I drew out of a hat?
