Personal relationships with deities

[jenny1972]

yes its definately different than a relationship you would have with another human but do you think a relationship to a diety would be just like a relationship to another human ? God is not human and is not in a visible form so why would it be ? it would have to be completely different , another person could not visually witness it .

I assume that a relationship.....would be a relationship.   It's not that the relationship you describe doesn't sound like a relationship with a human being....it doesn't sound like a relationship at all.  If god isn't visible than no one can visually witness it.  Not you, not anyone.  That's what it means to be invisible......

yes but just because you cannot see something doesnt mean that it doesnt exist . there are invisible gasses swirling around us molecules we cant see yet they exist , why couldnt other things not yet discovered also exist ?

my relationship with God meets all the requirements of the OP other than being observable by others that can percieve it with their eyes.

And the original post gave quite clear parameters for a "personal relationship".   If your relationship doesn't fit into those parameters, you ain't got one.   

And yes, it's an atheist forum.  If you want to discuss this topic, go find a gawd forum where lots of people share your delusion.  There are hundreds of them out there.  

As for me, if someone comes into a place where atheists SHOULD feel safe from preaching and various types of WOO, then yep, after you have admitted, multiple times, that there is no way to prove your assertions, (yet still keep yammering about your delusion) you have painted a great big target on your forehead.   At some point, you have to remember that this is OUR HOUSE.  Not your personal pulpit.  Not your (desperately needed gawd-worshiping) psychiatrist.  If someone comes into your house and pours shit all over the floor, you have to get out the mop.

i didnt see any rules stating that the only people who could comment in this thread had to be athiests and discuss from an athiests perspective . where did it say that ? all my comments after the first 2 have been responding to people . i have a target on my forehead because im discussing a personal relationship with a diety in the thread made specifically for that discussion and you disagree with me ? wow ok
