Personal relationships with deities

[jenny1972]

no its not reasonable for someone who has not themselves experienced communication with God to believe such a thing is possible a person just has to experience it themselves nothing else in my opinion could be convincing . i would not believe had it not happened to me and i dont expect anyone to believe just because i say it happened ,even if their was a way to measure such communication i would be surprised if it convinced anyone .

Is it reasonable for someone who has had those experiences to realize that it was just wishful thinking?

if a person has convincing evidence that the experience is just wishful thinking then yes it is reasonable for someone to believe it is wishful thinking .

I heard a voice once when someone who was talking to me had a second copy of their voice talking over the top of them but saying something completely different and things that only I could know... but in their voice. It felt really real and scary but I could tell it was my mind playing tricks because the 2nd voice didn't sync with them, because it made no sense and because it was about private stuff only I know about.

it is sad and amazes me how so many people are not open to the possibility of God and attribute everything to their " mind playing tricks on them " despite their mind never doing such a thing before or after and despite other people not experiencing such a mind trick .
