Replace 'electricity' with 'wind' and/or 'moving air' and/or 'breath', and now you understand what Proto-Judaic Canaanites circa 800 BCE thought 'spirit' was.

We have caught the electricity monster into a circuit and now we need to keep it in a loop.

I know people in my day to day who dont belive the earth is more than 2k years old, who believe there were never "cavemen", and dinosaurs weren't real. Baffling. This person is rich and has a ton of land. Education dont mean shit in freedom land.

De-energize an electrical panel, remove the panel covers, energize it and let them fuck around and find out.

I have heard, felt, tasted and smelt electricity and all that was required was a lack of self-preservation

So where does that put people who have been electrified? Did they simply die of terror because they thought they had grasped a live wire?

When they want to feel it, they should take a bath with a plugged in toaster.

Oh wow. It's been a long time since just reading a thing made me physically nauseous. I crave for the person responsible for these lies to suffer excruciating punishment. It breaks my heart having to accept that justice is dead and they will very likely never face consequences.
