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. God has spoken audibly to me and the reason I know it's God and not my mind playing tricks is because God has a better vocabulary than me and he used some words I don't know and I had to look them up later. Says you. Now verify that to everybody else. Do you realize the amount of information stored in your subconscious? You don't remember knowing those words, but that doesn't mean your subconscious doesn't. So even if I believed you are telling the truth, that in no way points to that God is actually talking to you. The subconscious mind can remember everything you have ever done, said or witnessed.

Yeah somebody said that about knowing words in my subconscious to me before but that still doesn't account for that time a while ago that God told me about something that was going to happen that seemed impossible but happened anyway.

A claim like that requires more than just you saying it for anyone else to believe it. I also don't believe you are being truthful. I'll indulge you though. What is this impossible thing God told you would happen and then it happened? Also, funny that you didn't begin with the impossible thing God told you and then it happened, instead of some lame thing about words that you don't think you had heard before that has already been ruled out as bad evidence by other people.

And David Hume is absolutely right. A miracle is intended to transcend the rules of reality. Now, when you run into the matter of circumstantial evidence, then, it doesn't hold up. The Synoptic Gospels, at best, is a collection of testimonies written decades after the fact. Now, Christian thinking is very broad, but I'm not too dismayed that some past and present would dismiss the miracles as unreliable. They are missing what is an essential aspect of God's character. God creates reality and he can transcend reality whenever he wants. I think you misunderstand Hume's point which is that the evidence for miracles happening at all is outweighed by the evidence for the laws of nature. To say that 'God is special and so can do anything' is not evidence of anything except credulity, although such an unverifiable statement will always make the existence of the magical believable to some. No, I understood it perfectly. Miracles as those listed in the Bible are just recorded testimonies. When weighed against what's natural, it's a contradiction, but it's intended to be that way. My last sentence was intended to be a statement of faith rather than being logical.

Well I was just saying how I knew. Without thinking about what would convince somebody else which is not a big deal for me anyway. But that thing he told me about a while back was that Ben Affleck was going to make a come back big time. This was right after Daredevil and then Gigli and I said to God "No way, that guy's a joke!" But then after that came Gone Baby Gone and The Town and then Argo, and I'm like, "Whoa!" and God coulda been all "I told you so" and everything because I know I sure woulda been but he wasn't really, maybe just a little bit.

DO TELL! Was it written or spoken, What was his accent like? In order for goz to sound like a god, and I believe you want to ... In the audio editing program "Audacity" (It's free or GNU) ... - load a speech in your own voice into the program (or record directly from the program)
- Select the entire speech
- In the sub-menu "Effects" adjust ...
- Pitch -4 semitones
- Speed -4%
- Echo
- Delay Time 0.3 (secs)
- Decay Factor 0.3
- Reverb
- Reverberance % 57
- Damping % 35
- Other settings Default
As others here can tell you, vocabulary and grammar are important.
You can save the adjusted speech to a file of various formats including MP3 if you use the proper dll's.
No, I never tried to sound like any god.

You might wish to point out next time if it happens that if He spoke to everyone in the same unambiguous way He might help belief in Him along quite a way.

I've come to the belief that one reason we talk is that I don't get into ways about he should handle his business. That's just not what we talk about.

But surely everything by definition is 'His business', while how He handles it is the ultimate preoccupation of faith religion and scripture?
