These are especially frequent in schizophrenic and epileptic patients as the subject of their delusions. The question we pose is: are there differences between this kind of religious experiences and those we find in religious texts or in the mythological tradition?
Results
An overview on famous mythological narratives, such as The Aeneid, allows us to establish that the divinities become recognizable to the human being at the moment of their departure. Thus, Aeneas does not recognise his mother, Venus, when she appears to him in the middle of the forest at the coast of Africa. A dialogue between the two takes place, and only at the end of the encounter, when she is going away and already with her back to Aeneas, she shows her son the signs of her divinity: the rose-flush emanating from her neck, her hair perfume and the majesty of her gait. Something analogous can be observed in the encounter of Moses with Yahweh on Mount Sinai. Moses asks God: "Show me your glory, I beg you". And God replies, among other things: "you shall see the back of me, but my face is not to be seen". In the same sense, the Emmaus disciples do not recognise Jesus till the moment of his disappearance ("but he had vanished from their sight"), and Saul of Tars falls off his horse just in the moment when he feels the divine presence. In short, the direct encounter with the divinity seems not to occur in the realm of myth or in religious tradition. The realm of madness is exactly the opposite. Our research on religious experiences in schizophrenic and epileptic patients leads us to conclude that God appears to them face to face, and the patient describes God the father, Jesus or the Virgin Mary in intimate detail, always in an everyday setting. So, the divinity is seen in the garden, or in the bedroom, or maybe above the wardrobe, without any of its majesty. The nearness to God also tends to be so extreme that even an identification of patient and God can occur. That light emanating from the world of the divine ceases to be perceived by them.
Conclusion
While in mythological narratives God appears to the human being at the moment of His departure or showing His back, psychiatric patients with religious delusions experience the divinity in a direct way, face to face. Given the deformation of the divine occurring on the edge of madness we can better understand the mysterious words from Yahweh to Moses in Exodus: "for man cannot see me and live". ]]> It is well known how often psychiatric patients report religious experiences.

Okay, the first thing is that you need first to somehow acquire a chicken of the correct gender and condition. It has to be a hen, you know, female. A rooster (boy chicken) will not do, so forget it if you are gay. Neither will a pullet (teenage girl chicken) do it for you. No, it has to be a mature female chicken that lays eggs. Nothing else will do the trick. Now, chickens are monotremes. No, that's not contagious. A monotreme is an animal with only one sewer pipe. That's right, a chicken only has one hole down there for your pleasure. The reason you need an egg-laying hen is that she is accustomed to opening up that hole every day to squeeze out an egg that is approximately the same diameter as the average male human penis.
Presuming that you have obtained a proper object of affection, the next subject of discussion is one that you will really like: bondage. You need to carefully and securely tie up the chicken's wings and feet, especially the feet. First tie the wings together at their bases, as tight as you can get them, then wrap the whole thing in duct tape. (Or is it duck tape? Does anyone out there plow ducks? Don't tell me, just send pictures.) A`fter tying the wings securely, tie the feet strongly together leaving plenty of extra cord. Bring the chicken's feet forward to the head, then take a wrap of the cords around the base of the neck and then tie them together wrapped around the base of the wings. Lastly, wrap the feet thoroughly with duct tape. Why all this bondage and tapeage? Besides the fun of it, it's necessary to keep your balls and tender inner thighs from getting ripped to shreds. Those are claws on the ends of that chicken's feet! The tied wings keep them from flapping and beating the hell out of you, besides they make a convenient handle.
You are now ready to do your first chicken. All you need now is a hard-on and some lubricunt (sic). Your hen doesn't think you are Billy Idol. She ain't gonna get wet for you, dude. Smear lots of Vaseline on your pecker, lube the chicken chute and push. Chickens aren't very deep. If you were a real man, you'd have barely more than the head in. But then, if you were a real man, you wouldn't be doing chickens now would you?
Your grip should be one hand around the base of the chicken's neck, the other holding the tied-together wings. Short strokes or you'll pop out.
Now cums the fun (and really brutal) part. You've got to time this just right: when you are there and you're almost ready to shoot, use your non-wings hand to break the chicken's neck. As she dies she will convulse and undergo muscular spasms. Some of these spasms will be contractions around your dick and if you time it exactly right they will occur as you cum.
I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said "You always kill the thing you love." In this case, you can not only kill but also pluck, eviscerate and devour the thing you love. Most of you wouldn't have the necessary skills to butcher a dead lover, so throw her in the garbage. Maybe it would be a good idea to carefully conceal her in a garbage bag or something, the neighbors might talk.

New brews offer a different taste. Most light beers are domestic lager-style beer, lightly hopped, with pale malt, fruit and floral character, and a mild flavor overall. Michelob Ultra Amber and Sam Adams Light are somewhat darker beers with a more intense flavor--more hops, more roasted malt, more fruit, and, well, more flavor. They also have slightly more calories than most of the other lights we tested. Yuengling Light is in the same style, but it didn’t fare as well because it had cardboard-tasting off-notes as well as some other defects.


Try these calorie cutters. If you’re counting calories, try a Michelob Ultra, Budweiser Select, Busch Light, Miller Lite, or Natural Light. All have fewer than 100 calories a serving and taste very good, though all have slight drawbacks--such as lower flavor intensity. Michelob Ultra, Budweiser Select, and Natural Light have a finish that tasted a bit too much like club soda. Run, however, from a Beck’s Premier Light. Though a beer with just 64 calories per bottle might seem tempting, our experts said there was “little beer flavor in this skunky light beer with cardboard and oxidized notes.


Do not shun cans. They might not be trendy, but they protect beer from light and tend to keep it fresh longer.


Consider a keg for parties. In past tests, we found that keg beer tasted fresher (and therefore better) than beer in a bottle or can. We expect the same to hold true for the light beers we tested this time around.


Beer is a delicate drink. Fresh is better when it comes to beer quality (“aging” is for wine lovers), and freshness is lost when beer is exposed to light and heat. So pay attention to expiration dates when they do exist. Unlike many foods, old beer won’t make you sick, but you might be in for a nasty surprise if you decide to pop the top of the can that’s been sitting in the back of your refrigerator since last summer’s pool party. ]]>

Martian colonist will need a liquid fuel for their engines. Not just for rockets, but also for internal combustion engines. Hydrogen, as a fuel, has problems.
According to NASA, “Hydrogen is a very bulky substance, requiring large tanks. The dead weight of these tanks partly offsets the high specific impulse of the hydrogen propellant.”
Also, an open container of hydrogen will boil away on Mars as surely as it does on Earth.

So, how about ethyl alcohol? It is also called ethanol, “torpedo juice”, “white lightning” or Absolut depending on its manufacturer.

It makes a good rocket fuel with a “specific impulse” of 250-270 when used with liquid oxygen. The Explorer satellite, America’s first, was put into orbit using LOX/Alcohol.

The first Martian colonist will face their own “open container law”. No, not the kind you face if pulled over by a traffic cop for drinking while driving, but a much more basic law. What they will need on Mars is a liquid fuel which can be easily stored.
Even at the low Martian atmospheric pressure of 7.8 mm of mercury (or Torr), ethanol won’t boil away if stored below –5.6 degrees C. So most of the places and most of the time on Mars, an open container of Absolut will be right where you left it. Just to be safe, don’t store it in the direct sunlight. And don’t tell your buddies where you left your stash of hooch.

Which brings us to the obvious alternative uses of ethanol: it is a good disinfectant. Still used in hospitals all over Earth. Nothing like a good alcohol-rub, either. Kills the smell of those nasty bodies and those spacesuits.
Taken externally, it cleanses the body.
Taken internally, it cleanses the mind.
Ethanol has a density of about 0.79 grams per cubic centimeter. The tankers arriving from Earth should bring tons of it. Maybe, if NASA is long-sighted, the rocket engines on those tankers will run on it. Colonists can also easily make it by fermenting waste vegetable matter.

So, Absolut has a place on Mars. Absolutely. ]]>

Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
