Why do christians think god communicates with warm fuzzy feelings instead of direct verbal speach?

Honestly i don't know. Deception is apart of the deceivers job description. But to say satan personally deceived me and that is why I'm an atheist, doesn't line itself up with the biblical model. Although I do see some common threads or beliefs that most of you share.

And I see more in common between theists...so?

Yeah, so...you just said the evil was us, and now you admit he is trying to manipulate us.

Evil is a desision we make. I did not say we could not be influenced. Again I use the examples of Adam and Eve and Job. As both were directly tempted by satan himself.

But Adam and Eve did not have the ability to resist that influence, as they did not know right from wrong until after they ate the fruit.

Where did you come to that conclusion!?! You do realize that he takes over the world in Revelation, right?

Luke 10:
18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather[f] rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

Now ask yourself why if He has this power has he waited so long to use it?

That is kind of my point. Can you think of a good reason for god to let him run free when, as far as he is concerned, nothing good can come from it?
