The title of the post clearly says he "thinks God really talks to him"? I grew up in a VERY religious home, so that's why I personally give reason to my "God talks to me personally" & "I am an angel" delusions as a child. Obviously hearing voices and stuff isn't normal for healthy people, but schizophrenia is NOT rare at all, and is a manageable disorder and is not some sentence to complete insanity & despair! There is a huge spectrum from mild to very extreme! I do advise him to go seek some kind of psychological help if he truly believes God has some direct verbal or some kind of contact with him, only because that's how I started.

I don't mean "talking".i don't hear voices.i just hear him in my conscience/thoughts.ive never had an audible hallucination in my life other than when I did bridge
That's not schizophrenia, that's how many religious people feel.

I am a poet. My poems are not my words. I catch my poems as they pass through my mind. Sometimes I smoke weed, and when I do I get what feels like a storm of poetry. It can be hard to catch that one most beautiful thought. Sometimes I am left with nothing but the memory of such a beautiful storm. Sometimes I end up with pages upon pages of poetry.
But for this conversation, sometimes all I get is the epiphany of the poem. The shift, or axis on which the meaning rests. I grab that epiphany with gusto and am so proud to have caught it that I completely forget about reality and am so engrossed in the sensation of such a successful session that I forget the context and am left with an interesting, but empty turn of phrase.

Dude I feel like I was just reading my own thoughts. I get that feeling, not so much that I get a storm of poetry ideas, but that I feel I know the meaning of life...& then it just fades away, & I cant remember what it was, but I know that for 5 mins of my life, God let me see all & know all. Like he let me get a taste of what its like to be him, them boom, he erased my memory, but sometimes, I am left with a better understanding of things. Idk, maybe I'm trying too hard to make our ideas connect, but regardless... Good vibes man

Dark_Star said: From reading his posts in this thread, it seems obvious that OP is identifying certain inner thoughts/feelings with God, not hearing voices. This is pretty common amongst religious folks, and is definitely not insanity. To all the atheists giving him shit; look to your own bullshit. If Christianity brings him peace, who are you to judge? As has been mentioned here by akira akuma & some others, atheists can be just as overbearing/annoying as religious folks. Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean that God isn't real, anymore than someone believing in God means that God is real. At the end of the day none of us can speak in absolutes, cause the reality is that none of us has proof either way. Believing one way or another doesn't make anyone better than the next person.
I've also noticed that the majority of Christians that I know tend to be more content with life on a regular basis than I am. I've noticed it enough to where I've explored Christianity as an option in the past. The fact is that I don't believe in it, and I won't believe in, cause it doesn't make any sense to me.....but who am I to judge if it brings them peace? As long as they aren't forcing it down my throat, we're cool. .....and the same goes for any other belief system, including atheism.
If more people thought like this, imagine how many problems would just go away.

Hi OP.
It's God.
I know you're reading this while you're high. So here's the deal. You're the only one who can read this post. It's all for you, my child. I want you to be my shroomery detective. You know, lend an ear (or an eye for that matter) on who has been sinning, who has been damning my name, atheists, muslims, puerto ricans...just keep your eyes open.
The time is coming, OP. It's going to be one hell of a shitstorm. I want you to be safe. Away from the sodomites.
....so we can finally be together.

No, I find shouting "TURD SALOMI" to be more invigorating.
But I only shout it in Arabic/muslim, so next time I'll try it in English.

I always have this voice in my head, I don't know what it does though. I don't even realize if the voice is even there sometimes, I might notice something there but I'm not sure if my voice or not. So I try to plan to find out if my voice or others. So I must ask people if they have heard of this voice before or not. I know many people have said they have heard something similar before. But have you? I know you are coming to meet my friend later, he came back from Chicago and would love to meet you soon. He sent you an invite to a party as well. We talked to you a week ago & we thought you were playing golf with us later

No proof either way, seriously? The proof is that it's impossible, and nearly every story in the bible is stolen.

God has not been proven impossible. Far as the the Bible goes, you'll get no argument from me on that, but if it helps someone out & that person isn't trying to force it down my throat, than I have no problem with it.

He really has though, there are certain laws that everything in the universe follows, christianity does not fall under them rules.
I don't care what people believe, but chances are if you're a christian I will not think you are very smart...

Christians are usually one or more of three things: stupid, deluded, or evil.
Though, there are a few who consider themselves christians because they identify with the message of peace, unity, and unconditional love embodied by the character of Jesus.

Christianity is just a religion, which is a framework in which people view God......it's not God itself. Proving that Christianity is wrong wouldn't prove that God doesn't exist; it would just prove that the framework is wrong. There are myriad other ideas about what God is, and honestly, if there is such a thing, I'd say that it's safe to assume that no human interpretation of it would come close to approximating what it really is. All of the science on the matter that I've studied up on....and that's a lot, doesn't say that God is impossible. All it says is that it's possible for all of this to exist without God/intelligent design/a divine spark/whatever else you want to call it, according to the laws of physics as we know them now.
