Some people do not like to say it, some people do not like to hear it, but fuck them all.
The truth of the matter is that when individuals personally witness that which has no support to prove to others of its existence except to be taken upon by fallible religious faith, then that thing exists purely as a concept in the mind of the individual experiencing it. Yes, I am referring to a form of delusion. Religious people no more hear god than schizophrenics hear whatever they hear or people prone to hallucinations see what they see.
But they're not hearing anything. That's the point. So it's not even hallucinations.
Delusions, yes. They feel things and think that must be God.
ETA: By "they", I am referring to the typical theist who does not have schizophrenia or anything of that sort, and who is sure God exists and "speaks" to them in some way.
