If I saw what you saw, I'd haul ass to a neurologist first thing in the morning.

Why, you might be ignoring the vast gulf of differences between you and I. I might see what you see, shrug my shoulders and say "meh".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No, you wouldn't go to a neurologist. You would know it was real.

Why didn't it happen to me when I was a sincere, seeking Christian, then?

Of course I wouldn't go to a neurologist, why would I go to a neurologist for knowingly bullshitting people? Whats he gonna do, confirm that I was lying? Not sure his expertise would be required on that count....

If I started having hallucinations and I know I didn't do drugs or eat something funny, the last thing I would do is think "Wow, that was certainly the Christian God having a chat with me!".

Partly because I know better and partly because even if I didn't, I'd still want to make sure my health hadn't taken a serious turn for the worse before I go proclaiming God to every ear who didn't want to listen.

Not sure, when you were a Christian, did you give up everything you loved to follow God? Did you sin, intentionally?

No, but so what? It's obvious you don't live up to that standard, as consummately prideful as you are.

What is pride?


If you want to see God, stop sinning, and give up everything and follow God. That is what Jesus says to do.

It is not prideful to tell you the way to God. Being prideful is when you watch tv and play video games and do whatever you want and tell yourself you are a good person. That is prideful.

I am telling you how to find God. Do what Jesus says to do. Then you will find God.

You didn't do what Jesus says to do, that is why you didn't find God. You were never a serious Christian, you were a religious Christian.

You have not given up your love for spreading your version of the what you deem to be truth. When you give that up, then you are worthy of repeating that question.
