Did you take on board my comment about remembering the hits and forgetting the misses?

You MUST keep a diary of what you hear the voice say. Be as accurate as you can, write it down asap so your memory doesn't dileute the message.

In the same diary, record the fulfilments of what the voice has said. Compare accurately how often events prove the voice EXACTLY correct, as opposed to how often events "sort of" fit and how often nothing comes of it at all.
Analyse the delays between the message and the fulfillment.

If you are getting accurate fulfilment within 24 hours of the voice you are a unique phenomenon and should be making lots of money.

I predict however that you are forcing obscure events to fit vaguely remembered messages withing varying timeframes, and forgetting altogether the times when there is no fulfillment at all.

The purpose of the diary is to eliminate our bad memory and natural pattern seeking. An accurtae diary will tell you whether you are normal (ie, remembering selectively), supernatural (whether from God or some other unknown cosmic force) or deluded.

RE: I heard God
I hear voices occasionally, but they never tell me anything interesting or precognitive as they tell you. I wish they were more useful, instead this voice in my head just rants and raves about doing the dishes, sweeping the floor, taking out the garbage, picking up my dirty clothes yadda yadda yadda. I knew I should have stayed single.
"Shutup you damned voice! Shut the hell up" I scream
*thump* in the back of the head.
"Stop screaming at me"
Oh forget it, the voice isn't really in my head, I just like to pretend it is Dodgy

Hi FutureAndHope

Actually, bood can mean quite a few things.

According to the Urban dictionary:
Quote:1. bood
variation of "dude," not to be confused with surfer slang. Interchangeable with "buddy," "best friend," and with sexual benefits.
"Hey, bood, watch out for that killer cacti!"
dude buddy friends with benefits bff best friend

2. bood
A variation of the pronounciation of "Bud" which refers to the bud of a cannabis plant (weed).

3. bood
To be in a bad mood.
My day was awful, I'm in a bood.

According to this site
Quote:The word "Bood," is a term of the Western Semai (a gentle, aboriginal people who live on the Malay peninsula) and translates roughly as "reluctant or shy." It means "not to feel like doing something, for any reason, for example, sickness, shyness, or laziness."

Why did you come to the conclusion that the answer is meant to be the word in Semai language?

Oh wow, God wants to be friends with benefits? Dodgy
At least he's consistent, it wouldn't surprise me if the Old Testament God said something with those connotations.

I heard a voice once that told me to go kill myself.

Guess God doesn't like me. ><;;

I heard a voice and it told me to stay single. Maybe god's giving me some good advice.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

I was asked "How would I like it?", God knew the man had not apreciated the attack, so he did not blame him for his initial bitterness towards God.

Now we seem to be talking on differant wave lengths. We seem to be hearing differant things.

Now I will change some words above which was made by you and so you can see what I see.

"On morning I got up and walled into the hall and I heard an Imaginary voice say "How would you like to be stabbed in the valley". The valley was the tough end of town. I had planned to go into the valley that day so felt a bit scared. I decided to go any way to ask people out to church so we can compare clothing and pretend to do something usefal. The first person I met was an aboriginal man I asked him if he would like to come out to church and pretend to do something good. He said "No, I am an athiest", I just said fine and hoped he would change his mind. He said to me "This is why I am an athiest", he showed me parts of the bible that is riddled with blood and gore. He told me, "I've seen what religion is and how disgusting it is, I've opened my eyes to reality". I was asked "Why follow religion if it does so much harm?", the spaghetti monster knew the man did the right thing to leave religion, so he did not blame him for his initial bitterness towards God. Latter I shared this story with him, and he came out to say "Keep your religious beliefs to yourself, an atheist I remain."

I've found that in this part, you've just made a huge error!

"God knew the man had not apreciated the attack, so he did not blame him for his initial bitterness towards God."

Well god can't hate nor be shocked of anything, have you forgoten? God is suppost to be all knowing and also don't forget the divine plan! So if god was to be angry or shocked or supprized then he can't be all knowing, and that would mean he can't be all powerful and so then - Why call him god?

God wouldn't say a damn thing because he already knew it was going to happen because according to the divine plan, god had already planned it. God already knew about the event and so that makes him immoral for planning it and knowing everything about it but do nothing to stop it.

God is an arsehole!

RE: I heard God
Well you can keep believing whatever you want, but the truth of those words remain. It was God, and that sort of thing is frequent enough for me to know I am dealing with a personal God. If I was you I would not be so quick to hold onto your atheism. Lets just be serious for a moment and consider, It was a fairly cool way for God to save a man, as I am sure he is trying to do with you.
Quote:God wouldn't say a damn thing because he already knew it was going to happen because according to the divine plan, god had already planned it.

God does not have a devine plan that is unshakable. Every thing in this world is governed by mans choices, and time and chance happen to all.

Ecc 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Quote:he showed me parts of the bible that is riddled with blood and gore. He told me, "I've seen what religion is and how disgusting it is, I've opened my eyes to reality". I was asked "Why follow religion if it does so much harm?"

1Ch 22:8 But the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

That is what God told david, he was not allowed to build the temple becuase he had shed much blood in the earth, as a statment to the fact he does not delight in war.

As for the exodous from egypt, God had a plan to cleanse the land, it (the land) was involved in the sacrifice of children to false gods. The thing you need to be aware of is God is eternal, his eternal plan can not be ignored. God can bring the people of the land to Salvation of their souls even upon death, he can speak to them, as he did to me. I know of a man who was dead for 20 minutes, and God bought him back to life, he spoke of God communicationg with him as he was dying, in that moment he gave his life to God. God saw the land was entrenched in the worship of false gods; religions of terrible actions. It was easier in his estimation to wipe out the inhabitants and start again than it was to try individually to bring salvation by foot, and toungue.

But god is all knowing? If he know's all then why would he allow people to suffer from cancer, or children to be beatern by their parents? Or priests that sexually assult young boys?

It's like watching a kitten inside a washing machine and the machine is about to turn it self on and you doing nothing about it even though you could just simply prevent the kitten from death.

So if god is all knowing and he does nothing, makes him immoral. if hes not all knowing then he isn't all powerful, and if he's not all powerful, then why call him god?
