Unsupported assertion, personal opinion pretending to be knowledge, blah, blah, blah... poser.
No, that is what you are doing. I am not the one who claims an invisible super hero picks certain people to communicate with. Divine revelation is not unique to Christianity regardless, the concept has existed since the earliest written religions.
Humans in all of antiquity mistook their fortunes as being handed from above. Now go outside at and see if a holy book or holy writing of any religion suddenly falls out of the sky. See if when you walk out you hear the voices of Apollo talking to you. Maybe if you simply concentrate Buddha will magically communicate with you and guide you.
Oh and if you stupidly think Buddhism isn't rooted in mythology and superstition then you don't know who Queen Maya is nor do you know how the first Buddha was depicted to be born. I'll give you a hint, the divine world spoke to Queen Maya and said she would give birth to a boy who would bring wisdom to the world.
Humans be they holy people or not, have throughout our species history have always claimed to communicate to the super natural world. Doesn't sound to me like this allegedly "divine world" everyone speaks of, has it's shit together. Sounds more to me like humans merely projecting their own qualities on to fictional non human things because humanizing the world around you creates a placebo effect.
If you really want to believe in a divine world, you sure will. Just like if a kid really wants to believe Santa is real, they will, even though he is not.
