I have all of those qualities. I have run out of questions to ask God, that is why I come here to take your questions to God inorder to have a deeper understanding. You douche bags asks questions I would never dare ask God. Yet I take yor questions to him anyway. Guess what I can do that no other can. I can reconcile creation with all of evolution and not change the 7 day literal creation narritive and I can completely incorperate the 8 trillion years or so needed for life to 'evolve from slime.' without changing anything. I can reconcile the ark, the great flood, and just about every single other supposed contradiction you guys can copy from another skeptic's website. I've experienced Hell spoken with an angel and been judged by Christ face to face. All through the holy Spirit. Which also lead me to feed the hungry, work with the innercity youth, create a singles group from which I and a dozen other people and subsequently several dozen children were created as a result of. And now 10+ years as an online minister answering questions that atheists have. and Out of those 10 years not once has God been stumped. Now the douche bag who hates God may not like the answer that I give because it may force him to admit he has the wrong understanding of God (meaning his question is built on a snow man fallacy) and to answer the question I must address how God is described Biblical rather than address the question built on the snowmen fallacy. (those are the douche bags from which I spek/those who will not accept that their version of God is a snowman built on some/afew characteristics of God found in the bible, but their view is not correct or a complete understanding, yet they presist in their version of God..
I share my Spiritual experiences because IF you ever tried any of that stuff you would know cohesion in a spiritual group is next to impossible unless there is a greater good/presence keeping people together.. Ever greater still is the presence of God to have such a group grow.
ith the pantry we had several hundred families we help feed every week
In the innercity we had 4 to 6 school bus loads of children we managed every week and one week out of the year held a bible camp for them
The singles ministry started out with me and a buddy and quickly gain 80 members out of a 400-500 member church
Each and everytime a group of mine got to a critical mass the church or some other organization wanted to step in.. Then it was their presence who the people felt and not God, and each time those groups dissipated.
People like you are NOT stupid. If you promise God, and no God shows up then they quickly move on. However if you promise God and those people listen and experience God in some way they stick around!
This is my latest ministry, and just look at all the members "sticking around" not fluff filled christians, but hard core atheists!

How do you distinguish that from the voice of your own imagination? There's a technique described in Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich where you create a "mastermind group" of role models (e.g. an inventor might elect to put Leonardo, Edison and Tesla in his group) and then mentally discuss things with them. I've done similar things with purportedly fictional characters, to profoundly positive effect in my own life.

I doubt that I would ever do such a thing. The whole scenario strikes me as batshit barmy to the max.
