Blinks, I just watched Roma Downey touch someone the other day and Im not in the looney bin.

Seriously? An admission of faith or a claim of seeing an angel in and of itself has to my knowledge never resulted in any one being put away in the modern era where one has to be diagnosed with an actual mental ilness first.

However, all the evangelists who claim they speak for God, and therefore must have talked to him, are believed.

Imho the televangelists are in it for the money, Ive never trusted their lot.

Ordinary people who think the same thing are put away. Why?
I know lots and lots of people who express a belief in angels, ghosts and what have you, and not a one of them is in any danger of being dragged off to the mental ward.
