-——God does speak!——
provide a quote please
There's a whole book of His quotes really: it's called the Bible. I'd encourage you to have a look.
“provide a quote please”
If I did, you’d just call it hearsay. Even if you stipulated that I believed that something had been communicated to me, you’d write it off as delusion, probably induced by drugs or insanity.
My question is, why do you ask for something that you would never accept?
“no direct quotes ....... hearsay”
Someone asked Peter Singer (I think) what he would do if God manifested before his eyes and spoke to him. He replied that he would have himself admitted to a mental hospital.
Who ya’ gonna’ believe—atheist dogma, or your lyin’ eyes?
Are there any criteria which, if met, would satisfy you as to the authenticity of a communication from God?
