There is no doubt a god, the question is what is it?

[Mystic]

I could care less. If brains can't heal, I would not have gotten the highest mark in the summer of the first computer science course nor would I have gotten a 96% on my last midterm.

Our brain is a tool it doesn't define us. Damaged or not damaged, I can use it do great things.

If you guys want to play that card go ahead.

Dude...YOU'RE the one who acknowledged that you've had episodes of psychosis. 

I'm not speculating as to what that entailed, how it impacted your intellectual/reasoning capabilities, or whether or not you've made a complete recovery. I was asking you if understand how that might effect other's willingness to accept your assertions about the demands and desires of your Bestest Invisible Friend.

Don't get mad. 
It's a reasonable question.

It shouldn't do a difference. If people can't recognize a premise to be true, me saying so would not make it more true whether I had brain damage or not. And if they recognize it to be true, my state again is irrelevant.

If I was claiming I should be followed and all I say is an authority, then I should be proven to have such authority. But such authority belongs to chosen ones and not dark souls like myself.

Who are the "chosen ones" and how do you know that they are not mentally ill and/or are just charlatans who are out to deceive you or others?

You posed a good question.... but before I write so much, to respond to this I want to ask what you prefer:

1. Summarize the stance but not prove it (just simply answer the question).
2. Prove and go into details.

Let me know.

Why not both?  If the evidence is so "obvious," what need is there for some elaborate "proof"?

You are asking why not both summarize but not prove or prove and go into details, the reason is because they are opposites....and you have to pick one in exclusion of the other.

Let me know which one you want.

In regards to psychosis, one's state of mind can very well impact his/her impression of reality; i.e. what they feel they is "true".
It's pretty much the nature of the whole psychosis thing.

Don't you think that stands to make your claims of "God" having spoken/communicated all of this extra shit to you, slightly more sketchy?

Just sayin'.

I know what psychosis is. Again, read what I said in the post you replied to.

In all honesty seek help. Professional help, not your family, not your Imam or priest. Put your feet unto the ground. Go outside and bask in venus beside a full moon. There is more beauty in the world, than your vaunted god.

[LastPoet]

Go now. In europe it is beautifull how they shine.

[LastPoet]

Venus and the full moon. Such a simple sight.
