The religious experience is meant to be something that affirms one faith within a certain religion, these may be things like, hearing God's voice in your ear, seeing an angel, feelings of pure happiness and fullfillment while praying and seeing the light at the end of a tunnel. However if all of these were to affirm a specific religion, then why do so many people all over the world in different religions all experience thier own specific experiences with their God/religion? I mean surely they cannot all be correct, and most probably they are not. It doesn't make sense, they only logical steps are that either: All religious experiences are only delusions in the mind; or that there is something that is trying to trick people away from a central God. However! Following along with that later point, most religious experiences are feelings of extacy, love, and happiness, a deep sense of belonging, so if an evil being is doing this...how are we to ever know which religion can
