The problem I have with most of the "life-changing" stories is that what (in hindsight) appears to have changed is perception that "I" am in "God's best." And it is generally true that we feel better when we feel better about ourselves. It does change our lives.

Some would argue that religion does this in all of its manifestations. But not really. Those who truly are hungering and thirsting, poor in spirit, meek, humble, etc., do not really get strokes for it from outside of themselves. No one is going to tell you that you are better because you are meek. But if you join up with the latest extreme version of "God's move on the earth," they constantly tell you how special you are to be there.
