Have I said this? Nope. If you think I have, then I suggest you read what I have said again.

Well, let the campfire songs begin! Wink Matthew, you said: "I didn't say that I thought God was communicating with me. You have misunderstood me; my saying that 'I did not perceive God' was to clarify that I did not directly sense or interact with God prior to my conversion (at least not to my knowledge)." Thus, you were, as I take it, swayed by circumstances or other factors.

So you deny God sensed or interacted with you yet you accepted him as your savior? I don't get it. Your words: "I did not directly sense or interact with God prior to my conversion." So what would compel you to convert? Further, if you didn't directly or indirectly sense or interact with God during this experience, what compelled you to convert?

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot

"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir

"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
