But as I explained this is a natural phenomenon that all be it rare it happens. Now here is where we differ. As a Christian I used to think that god spoke to me, like most Christians do. The reason I don't hear god speak to me anymore is because once I approached this feeling with skepticism I came to a conclusion. Either the god of the whole universe really is talking to me or my perception is flawed and my mind is playing tricks on me. Since we have a multitude of evidence demonstrating the flaws of human perception and none as yet of a god as well as the lack of a cohensive answer to what is a god I was forced to conclude the latter.
Given your experience I want to ask you a few more questions. First what is a god?
Second how do I tell a godlike entity from a god?
How did you employ this knowledge (what's tests did you do) to determine if it is actually a god you were in contact with. Ex. This god explaining the true nature of dark matter.
feel free to private message me anytime and/or add me as a buddy so we can talk about all those things or you can start a thread and let me know through a pm where it is i am currently in the thread personal relationships with deities i can reply there if you want to discuss there this is just really to say hi and didnt really plan to go into any detail and would not have had i not been asked but this intro can go on forever and go off into all different directions and topics if we let it (or if a mod lets it which i doubt) so just pm me anytime
or go to the thread im in.
