… in a God that has ignored me for 35 years
I just have to think, that if there was a loving, relating and personal God, he would have shared a beer or two with me at some point. It’s been like looking for the eternal g-spot that everyone else seems to believe they’ve found. I didn’t need God in the trees and the wind and the ‘did you feel that chill?’. He walks with us and talks with us… actually, no he didn’t. You told me he would and did and does and I just had to believe it. And when my mind told me something good, that was the whispers of God.

Hebrews chapter 11 verse 6 may be a good starting point in learning how to relate to God.

I haven’t yet read about Bart Ehrman’s beliefs or non-beliefs, but I do know that a god who people claim ‘talks’ to them, they need psychiatric evaluation whether they’re one’s next-door neighbour or the CEO of a high-profile company.
I know of a woman, a devout christian who beliefs, in her “heart” that her god ‘talks’ to her.
I remember her co-hosts thinking, out loud, that perhaps this woman needed Bellevue. That wasn’t an insult but a legitimate opinion that anyone who says their god ‘talks’ to them, is hearing voices and when life goes their way after having prayed to the air, they then attribute positive changes in their life, to their ‘god’ ’speaking’ to them. I believe it’s absolute coincidence
