How often does the holy spirit talk to you?

RE: How often does the holy spirit talk to you?
This is a regular problem I see with theists. They claim absolute certainty about things. "It was definitely the Holy Spirit."

Bullshit. We're not capable of absolute certainty, and to try and announce that you can never be mistaken or deceived, even by your own brain, is either incredibly naive or arrogant.

I've heard voices before which I have attributed to my brain not quite being at normal function while waking up. Of course it may be possible this was "the holy spirit", if such a thing even exists, but there's no possible way to know that. How the fuck could I possibly know? I have nothing to compare it to. Neither do any of these weird people. They can only compare it to the first time they heard from it, and if that was an impostor or their brain screwing with them, they are wrong every time. So the most likely explanation is my brain messing with me, a well known phenomenon. I'm too logical to just propose and accept supernatural explanations which sound appealing.

Religion seems to encourage and revel in delusion, and to treat what would normally be symptoms of mental illness as a virtue.

Fucking bullshit.
