This is why you believe, because you had a "wow" experience? Saul reversed his life to become Paul based on a "religious" experience. Couldn't these "religious" experiences just be something that the brain comes up with on its own? Couldn't TOM have caused it, for example? How do you know it has anything to do with a transcendental reality or God?
