Has anything supernatural ever happened to me? In a word: No

Supernatural is not a phenomenon, it is an explanation. I don't explain things using the supernatural. Doing so is wierd. Just about no one explains things using the supernatural anymore. So as a result, no matter how wierd I may think a particular experience is, it is not supernatural.

When God does crack, does he see people?

If you stop and think about all the trillions of synapses present in the human brain, is it really any wonder that occasionally one or two will misfire? When I stop and think how many times a computer needs rebooted, doesn't matter what OS it's running, it will need it eventually- our brains are really ALWAYS "ON."
I've had the streetlight thing happen, weird dreams, deja vu, etc. but nothing I can't explain with good old reality. Besides, if I don't have an explanation for it, that certainly doesn't mean there won't be one someday. I used to think thunder was god's bowling alley, too! |

To answer the OP: no. However, when people claim that the reason the elevator door opened right when they hit the button, or the reason they managed to find their missing sock so quickly was due to god, I must conclude that my standards for attributing mundane occurances to supernatural phenomena must be astronomically higher than other people.
