So you are discounting what I know from personal friends of his? I cannot stop you from believing that either:

a) I am lying about knowing a friend of his who says he wasnt faking it
b) his friend lied to me in saying he wasnt faking it
c) Safron lied to his friend about not faking it

But, me being who I am (an atheist, mind you) I do not think any of those things. I would certainly think things simpler, if those were the case. Since I do not believe those, I too am confused.

Let me ask you this: ever witness a really bad trip?
