A religious person SWEARS with all sincerity that he has met God. They both find further proof of these assertions in past occasions and memories, much the same as you see tv biographies say 'he was destined for stardom' when looking at random events in a person's childhood. This 'evidence' is so real to the believer, that it is not right to judge. In most cases the intent is pure, and the person has no perception of 'choice'
Could it possibly be (belief in God)' very easily a product of surroundings, experiences, fears, or even false signals from the brain'?
