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 .

Quote:my relationship with God meets all the requirements of the OP other than being observable by others that can percieve it with their eyes.Well, that;s nice, I guess...but you're talking to me, aren't you. You're responding to my question....(or not)...aren't you? I described my relationships. If your relationship with god isn't like any of that, then I'm at a loss. Are any of the other relationships you have like the one with god, or are they..as I suspect, entirely like my own? I'm gonna level with you here, far in advance....I don't actually believe you. I don't even believe that you're hopelessly mistaken about an experience you had. I think that you're refusing to leave the hill. It's a fairly recent and exceedingly common christian tagline that stuck with you, for whatever reason. That's what it is, it's not a relationship. If we cared to,we could source the publishing houses and authors where that little meme started.....not that either of us will care to, ofc.
