This is why I ask people to tell me what number I'm thinking of. That's new information you can't already have in your head. And a cinch for God, surely, to pass that on.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Whether it be telling you in your head or anything else, "God" is an unfalsifiable claim who can't simply provide you evidence of himself by communicating to you or demonstrating himself to you with more unfalsifiable phunky shizz

But you think that when I heard a voice it was evidence of God speaking to me....

That's fucked up shit to even think that that can even be a possibility realistically!

Why was the voice just the voice of the person I was talking to? Is this person a messenger from God? LOL

Were they?

So, what you REALLY want is a professional psychologist or psychiatrist who is a Theist, who will objectively pat your hand and say "well of COURSE you're in contact with god, dear!".
I'm not even sure you'll find a minister who will do that.  

If you're truly interested in truth, and you believe your experience to be truth, then trust it.  Surely god won't leave you hanging without anything to give to a professional assessor.  
If you really believe it's god, then put it out there to a professional, not to a bunch of atheists that you knew you couldn't convince before you even signed up.
Take your experience to a psychiatrist, they will perform tests, you'll have your facts.  If a non-biased professional agrees with you, then you really have something.

But if you're looking for bias before you even get started, then you don't trust that this is god.  Simple as that.

your opinion would have much more credibility if you had experienced this same phenomenon and then discovered it was not God somehow .

But you had no problem attributing the voices Evie heard to the possibility it was a god. Why the rolling eyes emote?

And how do you know you're not just hearing voices?
