That you can imagine yourself being convinced that a toaster is God is sad.

Why not, you said you didn't have criteria, so "because god can't be a toaster" isn't relevant, and you just got through telling us how a toaster could convince you that it was a god. Can you see why I'm having trouble understanding this "relationship" of yours? Imagine having this conversation regarding your mother. Could a toaster convince you that it was your mother?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

omg, I never knew! I was cleaning the toaster too often! It seems that the crumbs underneath the toaster act as antennas (or maybe it's the ants heading for the crumbs, they have antennas) for the glorious vibrations that a toaster can channel! Do you think it's because bread crumbs are made out of the same glorious elements as the great and all-powerful FSM?? That's possible. The FSM could have sent the vibrations via his glorious angels - that must be it - Oh, I feel amazing! Who knew?

God isnt a toaster and God is convincing . i dont have a relationship with a toaster or believe that i can or believe that it is God or that it can convince me that it is .

You keep making this claim, now I'm calling bullshit. Perhaps you can provide some evidence that current psychology has "many many many many many many different unscientific theories about how the mind works." We'll be here waiting for your evidence of this claim. After all, it shouldn't take you too long since there are sooooo many different theories, right? Time to put up or shut up!

It's gone, it's gone!!! How do I get it back?? I mean, I prayed to Jesus for decades and got NOTHING. Nothing. Suddenly I feel this thing that I can't . . . it was like . . . ????
