Perhaps, instead of questioning my sanity, we can move on beyond that. I can see that you are strongly an atheist, and I strongly believe in God. Now, to move onto the scientific part:
The room I entered was a small one, perhaps 10 feet wide and 12-15 feet long, with a ceiling 6-7 feet tall. (Apologies if you use the metric system.) It was placed to the left side of the hall, which was around 500 feet wide, 1000 feet long, and maybe 500 feet high. The room was filled with normal tea-candles, around 30-50 of them, all lit. As the door was open, I will argue that air pressure would not have changed in any way, shape, or form, as air would have cycled through comfortably. The heating system was not on, as it was a decently warm day, with no need for A/C either.
If I recall correctly, common sense and knowledge proclaims that fire produces smoke, which can reduce oxygen intake, which can potentially cause hallucinations. From smoke comes carbon monoxide. But, as I said before, the room was open, so there was no way for the smoke to collect in such a way that I would have hallucinated from lack of oxygen, as it was not a visible thing, but a physical feeling.

The only medication I take is Vyvanse, 30 mg of it, which CAN cause psychosis, but describes the only hallucinations felt as "seeing or hearing things that are not real. And this side effect is rare, very rare.
On another note, I think believing is fabulous. You know why? Because I want to be a better person, a good one, and I'm doing my best to be. Conceivably, the belief in and love for God inspires people to be better.
Buddy, I have no history of hallucinations, delusions, drug use, or anything that could have given me such a reaction. I don't have any of that now. There is really no explanation but the Holy Spirit.
I'll give you my personal experience with God and His Holy Spirit:
I was in a Catholic church/school for a memorial for an aunt I'd never met. Off to the left side of the hall where they did Mass, there was a small, intimate room dedicated to the Virgin Mary. There was a small, blue-paned window, a statue of Mary, a red-velvet kneeling bench, and a bunch of lit candles.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, my body immediately felt heavy, like there was not just one soul in it, but two. The feeling almost forced me to my knees, like it had a strength of its own, like it was a spirit. I looked over at the prayer bench, and I felt immediately drawn to it. It was compelling to the point of draining my strength. I turned away and walked quickly out of the room. But the feeling stayed, until I was on the other side of the hall, staring at stained-glass windows. It wasn't quick to leave either, and my knees shook.
Here's the kicker: other members of my family have experienced it. And there was really no explanation. The air wasn't any different, I was completely sober, and I'm the opposite of claustrophobic- I thrive in enclosed spaces. There was no explanation but the Holy Spirit.
I disagree with this. Guns shouldn't be banned. I'm in support of better gun control, but banning all guns would create an enormous issue, including a gigantic black market beyond what we currently have.
The 2nd Amendment was so the people could defend themselves against the government. Yes, weapons have changed, but fundamentally, it is the same. I do not trust the government, as it is easily corrupted and people go with the flow because they don't realize.
I agree. I apologize for forfeiting, I had some things to do and unfortunately couldn't reply either time.
I just like birds, man. All the birds.
I was asleep, sorry.
I enjoy a crap-tastic pun, sorry. I saw the opportunity and took it.
Hello, welcome to the bird side. We speak Portugeese.
Understood. My apologies, as I am new to this site.
I'd argue that knowledge of everything is impossible, but you can know some things inside and out.
My apologies for being late.
I'm Baptist, and my sect says he is God, but I recognize that people believe differently.
Absolutely.
If I recall correctly, Jesus was God's son in spirit and Joseph's in flesh.

Evidently not well enough for proper punctuation and subject-verb agreement.
