Does it matter? However I see no harm in telling you.
He has spoken to me twice. The first time, all He said was my name:
John 10:3
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
This happened as soon as I repented.
The second time, there was something I thought I had to do related to my repentance (it isn't about just feeling remorse; one must provide restitution wherever possible), and He simply said "You will not do that" (it was a command, not a prediction).

Does typical mean wrong? However, you really shouldn't group me with "Christians," because I have nothing to do with nominal Christendom.
And I'm not talking about sentiment here, but behavior. Yeah, many (if not most) Christians have an unreasonable mistrust of atheists. Muslims I'm not sure should be similarly grouped...Islam is obviously an evil religion. Moderate Islam is a misnomer; they are apostates or they never believed in the first place.
