text: Truth matters, at least it should.  The question begged;  why believe something for which there is no proof or evidence.  No Paul never used the word 'hallucination', but what he claims to have received by definition is an hallucination.  Many studies demonstrate over and over again what happens to information(oral tradition)  repeated over time by mouth.  It is far worse than hearsay.  No writers of the gospels witnessed anything of Jesus.  We are even far removed from having possession of the Original writings of the Gospels.  There have been embellishments, additions and yes copying mistakes.  To credit the Gospels as inspired writings when it is obvious that they are completely a human rendition by unknown authors ascribing to Jesus solely human bandying is the folly of faith.  Today, it matters that truth is an agreement with facts...you avoid that...you seem stuck in a quagmire from which it is impossible to remove yourself.
