...some religious preachers claim that God came down and talked to them?

If a homeless person went on TV and claimed the voices in his head said they were God everyone would think the homeless person was either on drugs or suffering from a mental illness.

Yet if a wanabe preacher says it, people think it's Gospel?

Not only do they think it's Gospel, but people then throw money at the wannabe preacher. The preacher(s) have a better patter and delivery system. Maybe it's because they wear a suit and tie.
