Creator: supernatural vs natural (posts from 'fine detail in the gospels).

Bit sad that the fantasies of a drug-fuelled fanatic (which only got into the canon by the skin of its teeth) were significant in your conversion.

Meeeeoww. Was he working for Czech intelligence as well?

Eh?

I may elaborate in a thread entitled "The Varieties of Religious Experience in the Light of Phenomenological Analysis".
Or maybe not.

You really do need to check the provenance of the scriptures which seem significant to you, starting with the Eden myth (ignored throughout the OT thereafter, and only thrust into prominence by Paul). I presume you don't give all parts of the Bible equal attention. Maybe you should tell us what your criteria are for what floats your boat.

The 'only just made it into the canon' is a new Gambit on me.
Presumably revelation made the cut because of it's value to Christianity.
Augustine states how the popular tune of his day 'Take up and read' has a significant place in his conversion. That never got into Canon.
I'll wager there isn't much of the bible you are impressed with.....which is strange because you've ended up enamoured of a bit of mere innuendo that the author was a drug fuelled fanatic.
