Religion's affect outside of religion

[Drich]

Maybe, that is why the 'experience' of God is not centered around 'feelings.' But tangible testable experiences and real exchanges. Respectfully, if your whole experience with God was 'feeling' based, maybe that is why it failed when tested by the wind and rain.

I don't even know what you mean by this. And it wasn't "tested by the wind and rain", it was tested by comparing it to demonstrable reality.

Tested by the wind and rain points back to the parable of the wise and foolish builders Jesus told. In essence to be tested by the wind and rain equates to having one's faith tested by whatever means you need to prove or have your faith/belief fail. Yours failed when you put it through "Demonstrable reality." that was a storm your system of belief could not endure, because (according to Christ) Your's was not a faith/house built on the truth of who God/He really was.
