    Absolutely. It happened to me a number of times. Turned out to be an abnormality in my temporal lobe. But no, people get revelations from the God they already believed in or were culturally familiar with.https://twitter.com/cartoonistwill/status/939326925272748032 …

    Oh, sorry. A voice came to me when I was 17 on Sept. 2, 2002 around 10:45 AM, said He was God, and commanded me to be a missionary telling people about Jesus. This happens to Christians a lot worldwide, across all sects and denominations. Some who weren't already Christians too.

        I was also convinced that I knew things before they happened but when I tried to record them to prove it, I couldn't. Later, when the cyst on my brain was discovered, I was asked if I'd ever experienced a feeling that I'd already experienced events. Deja vu on steroids.

        I still get that but have learnt to ignore it. I'm very interested in neuroscience that explains this now.

        Did he just suddenly revive a 3 year old thread? Can't tell if it's from September 14th or September of '14

        Has only happened to me once. I put it down to the weapons grade LSD I'd consumed shortly before the experience. Can see how life changing this could be without knowing why it happened.

        as I recall the Catholic Church once burned a lot of people at the stake for claiming that God was speaking to them.

        I don't understand how people can think they're hearing the voice of a god. No one's ever explained how a person is supposed to know the difference between God and the devil.
