Many schizophrenics...among other mentally disturbed, claim the same thing

First point- only the literalists claim the bible as factually, individually, true. I view the bible as metaphor, and I think so do many people. Subjective again. I think it's quite useful as metaphor, at which the outlandish claims need not be "reality".

Second- it's not only schizophrenics that have numinous experiences of deity. I haven't had it happen often, but it has happened on occasion. It's quite interesting.
