Blasphemy, Hearing Voices, and the Saints

Some thoughts about the idea of hearing the voice of God.

By the way, do people still watch "The View"?

Here are verses that proves that hearing Yahweh's voice makes you insane:

Isaiah 20: 2-5

1 Samuel 3:4-10

The two links have been removed. She made a comment that she would rather fake a seizure than be a bridesmaid.  NOT COOL. Those links haven't been removed yet.

"Who are you to judge?" That always cracks me up. They don't see the irony that they too are judging, they just judge god or whatever as 'good' instead. It is still a judgement. Oh those hypocritical Christians.

You know you've heard the voice of God when you want to believe and be rewarded so bad you're willing to lie to yourself to make yourself believe and aren't willing to acknowledge the lie.

You may on a level believe others have heard too if they share your worldview, and dismiss out of hand those that don't.

You'd have to be a desperate, wretched and intellectually dishonest creature indeed.

I actually do see some similarities between (at least) obsessive compulsive disorder and the "need" of many religious people to pray or attend confession. To me if religious belief is not mental disorder, it is pretty close to one.

Just saying. I am going your vids one by one right now and this is first time I disagree (somewhat).

shoes are okay, hoes are better.

Have you heard of Julian Jaynes' "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind"? He theorizes that from prehistory through the early bronze age, the right hemisphere of the brain used auditory hallucinations to communicate its abstract, big-picture analysis and commands to the obedient, managerial left hemisphere.

So one possible explanation of God's voice is that *everyone* was schizophrenic in Biblical times, and their culture said the voice's name was Yahweh.
