My biggest problem is, when people say, God said that “ and God wants that” or this is ordered by God, but God doesn’t talk ever. So how do people hear all that nonsense.
"Every true faith is infallible, it performs what the believing person hopes to find in it." Friedrich Nietzsche I see it as a manifestation of their own desperation and weakness, they are uncomfortable with the world as it is, so they have to make up some bull shit to make themselves feel better. The result is horrible though, because what they interpret as "hearing from god" is nothing more than their own egotistical desires. The id . . .
Funny (in a sad way) is that the Bible, itself, never claims to be the word of God. Man has projected that idea upon it and the more we are told that it is, the more likely we are to believe it and repeat it. Kinda like America being a democracy. America is not a democracy. America is a republic. Pledge of Allegiance...and to the Republic for which it stands.
They're delusional. The god delusion, is what I refer to the devout Christian's thought process on god as. My boss said she saw god in her dreams. I almost died hearing that delusional statement. It's not reality. It's a dream.
People don't "hear", what they do is hide behind that nonsense in order to advance an agenda. Most are trying to hide some sort of insecurity and project that uponthe world.
