Before I go on this forum I always pray for God to lead me and keep from misrepresenting him. I believe that both times God was intervening.
What interests me about this statement is not whether you are telling a fib. What interests me is how you think you receive god's guidance.
Neurologists have done a number of studies watching which parts of the brain light up when we consider various types of problems. The part of the brain we use in deciding what think, is quite different from the part we use to decide what others think. Would it disconcert you to know that when people consult god they use the same part of the brain they use to decide what they themselves think? If it doesn't it should.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
