You may want to call it something else, but I know what I've experienced and it was real to me. I've had my beliefs questioned many times (sometimes by myself) and with great introspection and much research, my faith has been STRENGTHENED.
But, sure, tell me that my beliefs are based on fantasy and illogic and somehow claim that that's not an attack on them because THAT's a logical claim.
I am sure your feelings are real. But they are still just an emotional response to you beliefs. They are not based on any provable facts.
To tie this back to the original topic, when Dan and Ron Lafferty killed those people they really felt God told them to do it. But that can't be proven through any facts or logical argument. So anyone who claims they should have been able to use the insanity defense would be saying that people like you were insane also. And the reason I said they should not be allowed to use the insanity defense is because I don't think everyone who believes in a mystical gad is insane.
