It is a lie because deep inside they know they don't really talk to god in the same way that psychics know that they don't really have any idea where a killer's victim is buried.
I was once a christian myself and I was very heavily immersed in the bullshit of those that surrounded me.
You give them too much slack, They will claim to believe it 'til the cows come home, but very few actually erase the lower conscious doubts. I came to know this as a generalized statement because I have spoken and argued with a rather large number of christians, many of whom are now atheists.
Chad's lies are intentional attempts to deceive others into believing his story. You and he can call me a liar and an asshole and I can call you two liars and assholes. The accusation only stings when it sticks to an underlying truth. So if he doesn't have any low level doubts, me calling him a liar will not have the least effect on him.
Contesting that the god of "his" beliefs exists is a refusal to face reality, because in reality no evidence of his god exists, and a great deal of evidence contrary to his bible's claims do exist.
No, personal unsubstantiated claims of god/ghost contacts don't count as evidence because the assumed anti-theistic position is that they are delusional. Duh!
Why are you so argumentative on such fine points?
If a man were to come up to you and try to convince you that he had just returned from his home on the planet Jupiter and he wanted to sell you a timeshare there, once you see that he doesn't have other signs of a mental problem, at what point do you, MMM, call him a liar and a con?
