Another Big Big Thread of Religious Discussion

Epiphany~ Not as short-lived as we would like to believe. People have made history-changing decisions based on those little zaps to the brain.

On another note, "considered" by who? I hope it wasn't the people who spent thousands of dollars trying to invent a "Left-Handed Whopper". I believe that a person can reach an understanding of the infinite without the need to alter their consciousness, although there is the chance that the epiphany in question would trigger the afore-mentioned altered consciousness state.
Maybe I misread that statement, but it seems to imply that the altered state causes the epiphany, and not the other way around. Would you please clarify this for me?
