Maybe it’s too much to say people who experienced this stuff are delusional? I know a lot of them personally and they live a normal life, but they keep saying testimonies about holy experience, that God talks to them etc.

    Humans also experience very powerful emotions. It is entirely possible to feel a sense of the sublime or epiphany or profound and misattribute those feelings to some kind of supernatural cause. If you’re never taught to critically examine your emotions, it is easy to bask in those feelings and be accepting of supernatural explanations for those feelings.
