They all believe Jesus died for their sins. That's the Christianity I'm speaking of. And yes, Christianity is fractured and divided, I'm not so sure that wasn't the goal all along.

I'm sure that to a christian of another denomination that might seem pertinent but to the atheist they are all wrong. It isn't a strawman.
Apparently I am tasked with a job?

a reply to: Shakawkaw People only seem to call Catholics "Roman Catholic" if a) they are doing census surveys or b) they are kinda freaked out by Catholicism. OP, How do you *feel* about you Medical-religious incident?

if God wants anything from you, it would be something like this..
JOB (Chapter 29)
1Job continued his discourse:
2“How I long for the months gone by,
for the days when God watched over me,
3when his lamp shone on my head
and by his light I walked through darkness!
4Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,
when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,
5when the Almighty was still with me
and my children were around me,
6when my path was drenched with cream
and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
7“When I went to the gate of the city
and took my seat in the public square,
8the young men saw me and stepped aside
and the old men rose to their feet;
9the chief men refrained from speaking
and covered their mouths with their hands;
10the voices of the nobles were hushed,
and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
11Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,
12because I rescued the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to assist them.
13The one who was dying blessed me;
I made the widow’s heart sing.
14I put on righteousness as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.
15I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16I was a father to the needy;
I took up the case of the stranger.
17I broke the fangs of the wicked
and snatched the victims from their teeth.
18“I thought, ‘I will die in my own house,
my days as numerous as the grains of sand.
19My roots will reach to the water,
and the dew will lie all night on my branches.
20My glory will not fade;
the bow will be ever new in my hand.’
21“People listened to me expectantly,
waiting in silence for my counsel.
22After I had spoken, they spoke no more;
my words fell gently on their ears.
23They waited for me as for showers
and drank in my words as the spring rain.
24When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face was precious to them.
25I chose the way for them and sat as their chief;
I dwelt as a king among his troops;
I was like one who comforts mourners.
where have all the good men gone?, and where are all the gods?
...they're some big shoes to fill but it's the best walk a man can do
may it take you far & wide..
24The LORD bless you, and keep you;
25The LORD make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
26The LORD lift up His countenance on you,
And give you peace.’
"..test EVERYTHING, hold fast to what is good & true" -1thes 5:21

I'd say medical not spiritual. And you wouldnt be coming here if it was spiritual. We'd be reading about you going to the MSM-CNN and announcing to the world. So far, you haven't and aren't going to, rt?
I'd get a 2nd, even 3rd medical opinion. Hallucinations, seizures, mini stoke, tumors, arachnoid cysts, hypo and hyper-glycemia, feelings of grandeur, chemical imbalances in the brain functions, synapse disorder in firing...something else.
There are many, many things-not spiritually oriented that can cause this.

Serious question, would that be sparkly dots, like very bright fireflies flitting around in your field of vision? If so, you might have experienced a visual migraine, they can occur without the accompaniment of pain or nausea. They can also be accompanied by visual hallucinations, visual anomalies and sometimes even aural anomalies. They can make you pass out, my mother has these except hers are also painful. It's interesting that they don't show up in any definitive manner of CT, MRI or PET testing.
