RE: Personal relationships with deities
Deities are all the same: none will talk to you.

You need to learn the burden of proof... you don't need to disprove something stupid to not believe in it.... you need valid evidence first.

God cannot give you valid evidence for himself that's circular logic!

Does god call you up on the phone? Do you call him? Does he stop by your house? Text? Email?

How's the "communication" thing work, exactly?

who else can give me valid evidence of existence but God ? if i do not see or hear or feel something or perceive it in some way im not going to believe it exists . i never said "God told me he exists... I know it's not the voice in my head and it really is God because it said so and it is God." you must be quoting someone else

Then how do you know they're not just thoughts? How do you know your thoughts are communication with a deity?

i just know the thoughts are not a product of my own mind , these thoughts sometimes i understand right away sometimes not but my own mind knows the difference i know the difference between my thoughts and thoughts that are not from me theyre very different than my own that im familiar with .
