I assume you received a sensation. Let us say then that that sensation was your imagination only, so as to take it out of hearing.
My point about fairness is that making such an uncharitable assumption about your relative (lack of) sanity is about as fair as you making assumptions about the sincerity of my faith in my youth -- to wit, you're being very unfair, and insulting.

What if worms had machine guns? Birds wouldn't fuck with them, brotha.
If god isn't omnimax, that's fine. Then he isn't the Judeo-Christian god. That brings up the point: what god are you talking about? There's a little shy of five thousand running around, which leprechaun is your favorite?
You reference Luke, and the Chritsian Bible, all the time. If you don't think that that god is omnimax, you're a blasphemer. If you do think he's omnimax, you're arguing disingenuously here. Which is it?

The god I believed in didn't answer, so I discarded that hypothesis.

Or, option four, you imagined a reply to your knock, because there is no god.
Don't forget that one; it's logically speaking the most likely.
