It's not just the atheists who think that people who swear they chat with god on the daily are nuts, one example being that christian jurors certainly don't seem to feel that "god told me to do it" is a sufficient or plausible defense.
I think that last part is a special case, and I'm glad to hear it doesn't work for them. I keep reading about declining churches and congregations but in my daily life I certainly haven't experienced a reduction in the number of strongly religious people I see and interact with. I still see people praying at McDonald's with hands held and eyes strained shut. While that isn't a perfect indicator, I'll wager those squinters are pretty regular god-talkers. Maybe they're all just moving down south to annoy me.
Why is it so?
