You can respond and get the last word in- but I won't be able to read it- for which I am thankful!
Your quite delusional for sure.

I am not a man.

Your apology was rubbish since both times you either pointed the finger or tacked on an insult.

Show me where I responded with hostility.

Only a coward would post what you have and then run like a coward.

Please, no more off topic, personal, back and forth bickering.

Yes especially calling someone hostile, claiming they have a loose screw and needs to be on meds.

I did not even known this was allowed on the forum.

You: No, not really, but I have a strong connection to this person and a relationship with them.
Friend: Wow, sounds different.
You: Yeah, it's not like other relationships people have, it's special.
Friend: So just to clarify, you have never met or spoken IN person or communicated by letter and such?
You: Nope. This relationship is so different.
Friend: (Thinking to themselves....how in the world can they think they have a relationship? They haven't even met or anything else. Seems creepy to me. I think my friend is maybe having some issues about making stuff up including so called "friendships" and "relationships". Sounds like they could use some help from somebody who works with these issues.)

Christians: You have a personal relationship with YOURSELVES and YOUR THOUGHTS. Accept this and realize the whole "personal relationship with Jesus" is not only creepy but delusional. The only so called relationship you are having is with an IDEA not a REALITY.
If a friend talked to me in this manner I would conclude they had a loose screw and perhaps need to be on meds.

Those who believe in all this supernatural nonsense should be classified as delusional and in need of psychiatric treatment. Can't wait for the day when faith is classified by the APA as what it truly is...DELUSIONAL and in need of treatment like other delusions such as paranoid schizophrenia. When you believe you are talking to the so called creator of the universe or having some relationship with that so called creator, you are delusional whether you want to admit that to yourself or not. We have grown adults on this board who think snakes and donkeys talk. They never grew out of their childhood need for a skydaddy. Attention all Christians on the board. Go to your local zoo and ask to see the talking snake and donkey exhibits and see what looks you get. Please do it. The looks you get should tell you that you suffer from a detachment from reality, which you do. Then we have Pastor Vizio on this board preaching all this crap from the pulpit and influencing impressionable young minds in his church on Sundays with this BS. As the comedian Doug Stanhope likes to say, we ought to make it mandatory that you have to be 18 or older to walk into churches in the first place so supernatural nonsense like the Bible and other so called holy books can't infect young minds with this nonsense.

No, it's not.

A relationship with Jesus is not at all like a voice in one's head.

I don't expect you to believe, but it's closer to being able to see the face of Jesus in everyone you know.

In this case, Jesus would be the friend. Not the random person you've never met. This is what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

God would also be us. In that sense, yes, we are talking to ourselves but not in the dismissive "all in your head" way that you believe.

Uh no, Pastor Vizio. Some on this board like me, will call out stupid religious / supernatural ideas where we see them and if you are the one holding said beliefs, then you will be called out as a person holding stupid beliefs. This whole tolerance politically correct BS is just that...BS. Everybody tolerates certain things and not other things. It's called life. I have a low tolerance for supernatural BS as you can tell. If people on this board can't stand their beliefs and them being ridiculed, then they should put their big boy pants on and deal with it. It's called life.

Let's hear you explanation as to why it's not a relationship with your thoughts. I'm waiting. I'm sure the Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, Mayans and others would say the same thing. I have a personal relationship with Thor and Zeus and it's not like anything else. The Muslims say they have a relationship with Allah and I'm sure they will tell you it's SO REAL and it's not like that relationship the Christians have with their Jesus. It's the TRUE relationship with Allah that counts. All people of faith, use special pleading to say THEIR relationship with THEIR GOD is the right one.

Oh I'm sorry. I updated it while you bothered to quote me. You can stop waiting, and start reading.

No? Then let me put it in simple terms for you and talk very SLOWLY.

A personal relationship with Jesus means you stop worrying about which god is the right one. If you have to ask whether the god you serve is the right one, it is not the God that is the source of everything. Allah is fake, so is Zeus and Thor, because they are names. The God that I worship has no name, because She is Life and He is Death, Form and Nothing. These names are just aspects, not the whole.

The God that is the source of everything did not "create" everything external to themselves. This God is everything. You, me, that plant you are staring at right now (I know you've been looking at it), the desk, the computer, even the empty air. These are molecules of God.

Jesus is God in human form. That cute girl you've been pining over. The librarian at your town. The poor beggar.
