Sounds to me like you were out shopping for a religion. I find that is a common trait among those who get sucked into cults.

1- No when I was a child I was forced into protestant I was always drawn to the Catholic faith, but than that is before I knew of the fullness of the gospel and the Plan of Salvation!

If a person wants hard enough to believe in “something”, that person will convince him or herself of something to believe in.

Praying and fasting helps in that respect because it lowers a persons resistance and can even induce hallucination.

Wow I did not know that gee Jesus must have been hallucinting all during his 40 days of prayer and fasting...

Wait a minute. Did someone make a claim that prayer and fasting made one more susceptible to cults and caused hallucinations? I must have missed that one!
