Modern day nutters tend to channel aliens rather than talk to god.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Is using 'warm, fuzzy feelings' what he really does?
What about when a mom drowns her kids or a guy makes earrings out of the testicles of his murder victim because "god told them to do it"?
Your mainstream Christians love to shrug these things off as nonsense, but I say that those claims are more likely to be true than the warm, fuzzy shit because in the Bible, when God directly communicates to people, it is almost always to incite violence and terror.

Or is it because the horror that humans are capable of is too great to ascribe to individuals? It has to be the all knowing, bigger plan seeing, benevolent god.

I love the song. Bookmarked your post.
It's got so much soul. And that vinyl texture. I feel like pulling my turntable out now.
Thanks for that.

Most christian's are victims of wishful thinking, their blind faith make's them attribute almost every single aspect of life to god's will or god's doing. Any emotion they get, any random accident or random luck is god. Take holy ghost possession into account for a moment, now these people believe that even if nobody in their own church understand the jibberish they create god does. Even though they and basically just making stuff up, because of their religious surroundings and enormous peer pressure they don't see themselves as making it up. It has to be god, because in any other environment they would not behave in such a way without being considered foolish or mentally handicapped. They can't understand the simple feelings they get are merely acceptance and peer pressure.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.

Why the abrupt change? Are christians less apt to make up verbal conversations for their imaginary lord thesedays?
Jesus explains the change at the end of Matthew and Luke explains the Change in the beginning of the book of ACTS. It all boils down to Christ leaving and the Holy Spirit taking His place. The Holy Spirit Starts out directing 'feelings' but if one if faithful feelings get replaced by actual direction.

That sounds like a very good and accurate description of a slide into paranoid delusion to me.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Why the abrupt change? There is no abrupt change. There are centuries with no record of God speaking to people. That's the norm. Today is no different.
Similarly, critics frequently make a similar argument regarding miracles: God performed miracles all the time in Biblical times, but doesn't now. Why not? The premise is similarly flawed: centuries pass with no record of miracles. (If you think about it, that's a necessary condition of miracles.)
