Paganism/shamanism & zoophilia

Bah, I wanted to edit my above to add this, but it timed out on me.
 
On the topic of one's experiences being evidence of factual events, do keep in mind that our brains trick us frequently. I've had many deep, meaningful, spiritual experiences that felt entirely real to me at the time, but logically I know they were not real physical events. That doesn't make them any less important to the individual experiencing them and it doesn't make them meaningless, quite the contrary, it says a lot about the state of mind of the person experiencing such events.
Doubt your mind tricks you? Explain optical illusions, take a look at common logical fallacies, listen to some good stereo, quadraphonic, or surround sound. It's easy to confuse the brain, especially when the events going on have to be filtered through our state of mind at the time.
I am not an especially religious person these days, I still have moments of spirituality, times when I can be overtaken by the grandeur of the Universe around us, but these days I'm far more inclined to turn to science for testable, verifiable, questions about this universe. Those questions for which I can't test or verify with science, I tend to use philosophy (including many religious philosophies) to explore and evaluate until I get to a testable question. I've not persoanlly found any singular philosophy which adequately explains all the things I have contemplated.

Alright then, the fact that I have clairvoyant dreams is an optical illusion.. I've literally seen stuff in dreams before its happened in real life, is my mind playing tricks on me when that happens??
For example, I had a dream that I was gonna get a dog, saw him in great detail in this dream, he has unique markings that pop out, and I saw every last one.. then a week later I find the Same dog in an add.. Hmm really ironic if that's just my mind tricking me..
Not to mention the times that I've literally known what people are gonna say before they say it, or the fact that I can change reality with my own will.. instances along those lines..
Its alright though you have your beliefs.. Just don't claim my mind is tricking me when you clearly are not in my shoes..
