I would really like to address that blog, which I found interesting. Skimming it, I found some typical ad hominem problems with the article. Hopefully, I can find time to respond fully to what was said. Thanks again for your comment.Shelby Cadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03283839806468851849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647656873881736118.post-78796354081200877942014-01-03T17:36:44.437-06:002014-01-03T17:36:44.437-06:00Just wondering, what are your thoughts on this art...Just wondering, what are your thoughts on this article for hallucinations?<br /><br />http://adversusapologetica.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/1-corinthians-15-and-the-500-witnesses/<br /><br />Like this part: "For more information about this, see Keith Parsons’ “Peter Kreeft and Ronald Tacelli on the Hallucination Theory” in The Empty Tomb: Jesus Beyond The Grave. Parsons (pg. 436-7) provides an incident of a far larger group than the supposed group of 500 that was reliably documented, rather than relayed through hearsay via Paul, where thousands claimed to witness a miracle at one time: “Mass delusions may be directly witnessed as they occur. When, a few years ago, a woman in Conyers, Georgia, began to claim regular visitations from the Virgin Mary, tens of thousands of faithful would gather monthly to hear the banal ‘revelations.’ While the Virgin was allegedly making her disclosures many of those attending claimed to witness remarkable things, such as the sun spinning and dancing in the sky. A personal friend, Rebecca Long, president of the Georgia Skeptics, set up a telescope with a solar filter, and demonstrated – to anyone that cared to look – that the sun was not spinning or dancing. Still, hundreds around her continued to claim that they were witnessing a miracle.”"Somewhat Studioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16558384937426711608noreply@blogger.com
