And she's wrong. It is entirely possible to believe that one has had a false experience, misremembered it, or misunderstood it. Apparently she thought if you had the kind of experience she had then you could not doubt it. It's kind of an unassailable argument in a way as if someone were to say they had that kind of experience and did doubt it she could simply say that it couldn't have been the same kind of experience then. Doesn't really get her anywhere though I guess. It is usual, at this point in an argument about such experiences that theists ( and possibly Ms Weil ) bring up phenomena such as NDE's 'visions' and such experiences as our own Erjenious believes happened to him where he felt that he went to Hell and then came back, presumably back from the dead or in a different realm at least. In his case he admitted that he was febrile at the time and this is a common attribution to febrile hallucinations ( ie the brain goes through some extraneous consciousness caused by fever, just as NDEs are caused by altered oxygen CO2 levels and the working of other chemicals on a brain in physical distress) SOME people even take hallucinatory drugs in an attempt t 'see' some inner or universal truth. Yet others such as Ms Weil may suffer from a delusion that they are indeed 'special' or chosen and apart from other people....see Graham's views on this above, with which I concur.
