This talk first presents a series of Religious Experiences, some of which were caught on camera, including video.  Thereafter It gets into why religions are having so many problems finding new members, and what's wrong with all Logos all the time.  The approaches of Drs. John Vervaeke and Jordan Peterson are questioned, as well as both Catholic and Protestant perspectives.  There is a detailed timeline with the video for your convenience.
