Well, community, I just had an encounter with "god."
I tend to be a more moderate atheist, and I consider and weigh the arguments of the religious without bashing them, unless they say something bigoted against minorities, nonbelievers, or women.
Anyway, after recalling a discussion I had on another forum today, I decided to give god a chance. I opened my mind, and really tried to want to be contacted by god.
After a minute or two, I started hearing strange, whispering voices. I had a "holy shit" moment, and tried to figure out logically what the hell was going on. I realized after a few seconds that the voice was dull and rather hard to understand.
So I turned up the volume on my pc speakers. And it turned out that the voice was a commercial on a website running minimized.
I figured it out, because I didn't just jump straight to superstition. But a mentally ill person who actually hears voices, or an ignorant person who wouldn't investigate what was causing the noise? This just goes to show how a simple coincidence can give people personal (bullshit) experiences with god.

What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
