We get people here constantly, endlessly, all telling us (different versions of) what they know about God because it was revealed to them.
It never starts sounding any less silly, with more variants, only more so.
If you went onto a Christian forum and told them you heard the Hindu gods talking to you, they'd tell you what we tell you about Hindu gods. Your generic version of God might be low-key enough not to raise the redflags of the True Believers™ elsewhere, because they can imagine that what you're hearing is really the same as the very specific version of god in which they happen to believe, but as soon as you were specific enough that they could psychologically isolate it from their own ideas about god, you'd go right back to scorn and derision.
To us, from the outside edge of this whole "I talk to god" "No I do!" "No really it's me!!" discussion, it just looks like a bunch of lunatics or schizophrenics trying to explain to us that their invisible friend is the only real invisible friend, and that he wears corduroy pants... no he doesn't he doesn't need clothes because he's a being made of light... wrong he's a shadow in the corner of the room that talks to me as I'm falling asleep... wrong, sir, he's a voice that comes to me when I am sad... WRONG! he's ... (See my point?)
Rocket, our perspective doesn't matter. She can hear Gods thoughts and she knows she not one of those "lunatics" as you put it. How? Because God tells her so. With his thoughts. Its a fool proof system.
I for one feel like I could learn much from it. The lottery numbers, the future, the answers to various scientific mysteries, an insight into our history never before learned.
I mean honestly, who are we to question her? We should all be waiting with bated breath to hear whats going through Gods mind. I for one tend to convert fully once I learn the secret to faster than light travel.
Seriously. You're all being so closed minded tonight.
