If He told me what I wanted to hear I would be asleep right now. My house would always be a mess. I would be a shut in and never speak to my neighbors. I would be divorced and everyone would be against me. Also I would have probably let loose a couple of times on you guys, but probably not because I wouldn't even spend time on this.  So no God does not tell me what I want to here. That is why God is good because he tells me what I need to hear and enables me to acomplish His good plan. His death and ressurection has given me a new life and this life is good. I am grateful for all he has done and called me to do. Hr is far better than anything I could ever make up.

Also I am not on my computer and can not see your signature.
You do know you just admitted that without 'god', you'd be a smelly shut-in antisocial whore who yells at strangers over the internet? Is that how you picture all atheist women or do you just know yourself so well that you know where things would go if you just "let go". Well, hate to break it to you, but even if you de-Saviorized, you'd still have the inconvenience of living life, to perform.  
I think your problem is you identify self preservation thoughts (which are as a matter of faCt, a production of evolution), for god. You associate all positive thoughts with god even if they're just your own! 
See I have voice I my head too, that says get up and take care of yourself and take a shower Luckie (no one likes to be or be around smelly people). Do the laundry Luckie (again, hygiene is important for survival). Don't sleep with strangers, Luckie--it's just not proper in a society to do that, is it and you might get a disease! :Shock

You and I may have differing reasons for doing something (like apparently you take showers for Jesus) and I take them to be clean--but they're the same thoughts. It's simple evolution, my dear. We all know what's best for us based upon the information we have at hand. My informed decision about the bible being nonsense and the earth as we know it a result of evolution--means I  actually did the research and you didn't. 

Any other examples of what you believe to be god speaking to you?

Only speaking of myself because I know how God has changed me. When I said let loose I didn't mean sleep around. Christianity isn't just about self it is about God and glorifying Him. God has worked on my fears and anxieties and discipline but most of all on my love for others. This isn't about performance to do the right things but to be with God and to know Him. When He redeemed me from my sins it wasn't just to save me from hell but to also redeem all of me. My way of thinking, my feelings, my habits, my relationships, ect.
