I'd like to request a relationship with Priapus . . .

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-

Drich: You agree? Thanks Smile So do you have a personal relationship with a deity I could verify in this way? Or would you not class it as that?

I don't understand your question. If I could verify you're having a relationship with Jesus say, why would that give me a responsibility? I'd be happy to tell everyone that I had confirmed Jesus was in fact real and you were talking to him. Anyone else could witness this for themselves, presumably. What other responsibility do you suggest?

I would be very surprised, that I'd been able to observe Jesus/God as real and watch them communicate with you. You'd be the first person to produce any such evidence. I'd wonder why no one else had been able to. I'd probably ask them some questions of my own.

I tried cuddling with my dog.

But it's one of those Theory VS. Reality situations:

Good illustration there, but the dog's butt needs to be much closer to the ladies nose.

Most people with invisible friends grow out of it by the time they are 6 at the latest.  Those who don't are called theists.

A theist talking to Jesus is no different to a normal person talking to someone on his phone via a Bluetooth earpiece, but without the earpiece.
Why should a little Bluetooth earpiece cause so much controversy! hehe
