"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.
he was giving his definition of a personal relationship not something you had to prove or a requirement you had to meet in order to post a comment here - the topic is simply a personal relationship to a deity not 'prove your personal relationship to a deity to convince athiests' , im interested in this topic which is why im here . why are you here if your bored and irritated are you into self torture or something ?
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
