[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4776210, member: 63706"] The point is that psychotropic drugs can mimic a religious experience. if one were to argue that religious leaeders are the only ones who somehow hold sway over people, then you must accept the fact that they do indeed have powers derived from a supernatural source. Or, it's possible that there exist neural pathways through which, with the proper understanding and/or the application of psychotropic substances, a person can manipulate the thoughts and potentially actions of others. When you don't believe in the supernatural, you must necessarily believe the other option must be true. Denial of that is contradictory, and expressing such reveals a deep cognitive dissonance.
