I had a friend (lost touch a few years ago) who one day lost the plot on the way into work. Stopped his car on a roundabout and started pulling other motorists out of their cars.
Apparently all in the name of god, looking for 'wrong uns'. Those he said "you're alright" to have probably gone on to become self made visionaries wearing turquoise trackies.
Before that day he was 'one of the lads', very outgoing. Since then he's been on meds and not a shadow of his former self. Never got a proper answer to what made it happen, which is perhaps as scary as what could have happened.

That explains a lot, seeing God is caused by brain damage
Seeing 'God' may be caused by brain damage | Daily Mail Online
Researchers at Hadassah Hebrew University have reported a rare case study of a patient being treated for of epilepsy when he had a religious experience in which he reportedly saw and conversed with God.
In the run up to the tests the patient, a 46-year-old Jewish man who had reportedly never been especially religious, had stopped taking anticonvulsant medication for seizures.
Just before the incident, the doctors measured a spike in EEG activity in the patient's left prefrontal cortex - an area previously linked to religious and mystical experiences.
The Israeli team believe the man suffered the visions as a result of a psychotic episode following a seizure.
Intense religious experiences are well documented throughout history, with recorded instances of smells - such as roses - and other sensory events accompanying their visions.
Such visions and smells have been also been reported by patients with types of epilepsy as 'auras' which may precede their epileptic seizures.Leave a comment:
