The voice/thought/impression that lead me to purchase a Bible in the first place was an encounter with God. Reading the Bible (the Word of God) itself was an encounter with God. I felt like God himself was speaking to me as I read through Romans.
Sounds crazy I know, but I'd only be saying if I believed it to be true. No point in making a fool of myself otherwise.
Millions of people across the span human history have had such religious experiences. They've led them to beliefs that can't all be true (Mormonism is true, Allah is God, Jesus lives, We have spirit animals, etc).
It is crazy. And you're crazy for accepting such things as proofs of God.
