Is Religion Capable Of Inducing A "high" Amongst Its Adherents Or Victims? by huxley(m): 2:49am On Dec 25, 2008
Many of the Christian charismatic ministers exploit a known "flaw" in the human constitution to create spectacles and exploit their hapless followers.  This is sometimes manifested in the followers displaying elevated mental states of ecstacy. Many leading Christians ministers such as Pastor Chris, Peter Popoff and  Benni Hinn play on this human defect abundantly, to use a favoured christian word.

These Christian ministers induce hypnotic mental states, akin to trances, leaving them open to all manner of suggestions and exploitation.  Watch Benni Hinn slay people in the spirit here .

So have you ever been slain in the spirit?  How did it feel?  Were you on a "high"? 


Incidentally, some members of this forum, notably Davidylan, think religion is not a "high". While strictly speaking I agree with him, I think that one of the consequences of religion is the tendency to induce such mental states (or high) to its victims.
