Personal relationships with deities

[drfuzzy]

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?

Are you forgetting the original post?   robvalue set these very clear parameters:  

"To me, this is a sensible, loose definition of a personal relationship:

An independent observer can verify that

1) Both parties in the relationship exist, and are easily distinguishable from being imaginary.
2) Both parties have an independent intelligence.
3) Both parties directly communicate with the other party in a meaningful, observable way."

The experiences you describe do not fulfill these requirements.  You are unable to demonstrate that the OP's claims are inaccurate. You are on an Atheist website.   This does not mean that the "Christian" section is for people to gush on about their gawd.  You are on an Atheist website.  You say you don't want to convince anyone, but the fact that you have wasted dozens and dozens of posts on this topic shows otherwise - - you DESPERATELY want agreement.  You're not going to get it.   Assertions of your personal experience are boring and beyond after the second or third description.   You've already agreed that you're not going to be able to prove your claims.  You've made your point.  So why don't you drop this topic and go start a more interesting thread, something where you won't be labeled as just another insane Theist who thinks she's talking to gawd?  Because if you keep trying to claim something you can't prove, the ridicule is just going to keep piling up.
