Theists, please describe how you experience your god

[Godscreated]

This makes no sense.

If you are a con artist trying to convince someone to invest their money in a deal, you'll have far more success if the person you are trying to convince sees other people investing in it as well. This is why con artists do better in teams. One person presents the deal, the others pretend to invest in it.

In the same way if you are a preacher selling the idea of eternal paradise, you'll have more success convincing others if they see other people convinced of it as well. People are less likely to question their faith if they see other people having experiences. They'll be more likely to think that they aren't personally trying hard enough than to think that they have invested too much time and effort into a fantasy. People with psychosis immersed in religious imagery are more likely to have what they think are religious experiences but instead are symptoms of their brains being imbalanced. But because this is useful for other people (preachers and those wanting to convince themselves that their beliefs are correct) they are not only tolerated but encouraged as well.

So happens a preacher only presents the message of Christ, the Holy Spirit convicts those who see they have a need after that it's up to that person and God whether the become believers or not, has nothing to do with the preacher or others in the congregation. The worship service in the church is for the saved, a lost person can't worship God because they do not know Him. Most people come to salvation outside of the worship service, most children get their information from Sunday School teachers and parents and most of them make a commitment to God out side of the church. Then most people tell the church after a worship service that they have committed their lives to Christ. So you are barking up the wrong tree with your con man psychosis gibberish.  

Because I'm living my life and understand it.

Someone with a psychosis would say the same thing if they think that their experiences are because of a god when they actually are a product of their brain.[/quote]

 You dream on about what you think you know and you will dream yourself right into an eternal punishment, one that you are making. You'll be judged by God, and then He will let your own predetermined sentence be your punishment. I would think heaven would be a more attractive place, a place designed just for those who chose Christ one of everlasting beauty.
