Personal relationships with deities

[jenny1972]

I'm not quite understanding the intensity of the interrogation of Jenny's claim. She says she felt the presence of a being she interpreted as God, considered that a divine revelation to her, personally, and chooses to believe on that basis.

It doesn't strike me as a difficult concept to grasp, guys.

If someone says they have felt the presence of gawd, yes, I usually just shrug it off as another one of the millions of people who have that . . . belief . . . yet cannot offer any proof.   She's one of literally millions.  That's because gods have been a part of human mythology for many thousands of years.  They're woven into the culture, and will probably be difficult to eradicate.

It's when they KEEP asserting that they have been talking to gawd, over and over, clearly wanting the listener to say "ok, yes, I believe it is gawd you've been talking to" that I start getting annoyed.   I want to say "I heard you.  Next topic please, move on."  And they just keep yammering about their imaginary friend.  Repeating a personal, unverifiable claim will not convince me.  Give it a rest.  After a few dozen assertions they have gone from boring to very, very irritating.

im not stopping anyone from going to another thread that doesnt discuss personal relationships with deities . if your irritated with this topic and people describing their personal relationship with deities which is what the thread is about you can go to a different thread that you dont think is annoying right?
