Have a read of this story about the mentally ill Bulgarian man who brutally beheaded a woman in Tenerife.

Horrific, obvious case of mental illness.
But it's got me thinking...how can we tell the difference between schizophrenia, and the belief in spirit voices, revelations etc - both happen exclusively within the walls of a person's skull.
For me anyone that says "God spoke to me, he revealed himself" is simply mentally ill.
Note, just because you didn't commit horrific murder based on the imaginary voices in your head, doesn't make those voices real.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
