Brava, Maria
Beautifully stated.
I've written for years about the fact that religion and the paranormal (or extranormal or transnormal or whatever neologism you want to cook up) have nothing whatsoever to do with one another. One is a completely human invention. The other is a relentlessly observed fact of human existence backed by an Everest of empirical and observational evidence, as well as the increasingly holistic thinking of many top quantum physicists.
Rejecting blind dogmatism of all kinds, not just the religious brand, is critical to getting at real understanding of the nature of reality, which increasingly appears to be unlike anything we have imagined.
