Genuine question for religious anons
How do you know if someone who says god is talking to them is schizophrenic or for real? God is supposed to talk to people from time to time right?
>i dont know if pic is related or not because i didnt check.

>fuck
>>768030799
are you fucking retarded? Look at op, its 1 off quads.
>>768030799
Nice dubs though.
>>768030799
Back when i was a summerfag you couldn't even get dubs, but you wouldn't know why that was because your 12.
>>768030995
It's not quads though you fucking idiot. His statement implyed that it was, or at least that he was angry that OP did get them even though he didn't. It's grammatically incorrect
Thank you faggots for bumping my thread, dumping random images till someone replies with something other than b8.

There is only god.
>>768029899
No one is truly religious. If they were, they would kill themselves for celestial gains.
>thn wy du dey prich gæd?
Obviously because of social gains.
>bot wahy?
If the ego truly believed, it's intrepretation would be 'there no need to live'.

You might actually be autistic or extremely new, op ALMOST got quads hence the 'hgnrr almost'.
>it's grammatically incorrect

Idiot it's called WINTERFAGS U DUM NORMIE

Yeah i considered this but almost all religions have rules against suicide, eg you go straight to hell or purgatory if you kills your self. They closed up that loophole.
>>768031929
Yes indeed. However, if we don't distinguish between deities, community rules, cultural approaches and scripture, there is still an epic fuckton of religious people not killing themselves, even though suicide is not explicitly illegalized. In my head, these can be generalized to a greater population.

1st John, ch 4 (this is the New Testament, written after Jesus): "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God."
Deuteronomy, ch 18 (this is the Old Testament, Moses quoting YHWH here): "'But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.' You may say to yourselves, 'How can we know when a message has not been spoken by YHWH?' If what a prophet proclaims in the name of YHWH does not take place or come true, that is a message YHWH has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed."
Additionally, Christians consider the canon of Scripture closed after the Revelation to St. John. I can't speak to non-Christian Jesus sects like JWs or Mormons - those would be interesting though.
>>768029899
Devout Christian here. The bible isn't really about a real thing in particular. They're just stories. Stories that effectively apply as metaphors to the way the world works.
Additionally, it's a rulebook from the olden times. It's not really real.

Another question, have there ever been a significant amount of christfags on /b/?
Its hard to say because on one hand the of shitstorm of butthurt about atheism or christian bashing suggests that there are indeed christfags. I see less of it now than the old days but the kind of reaction doesn't always seem like trolling, it really seems like peoples pride is hurt by it.
On the other hand how could there be many christfags? How would they justify coming to this shithole with all the things they consider degenerate? Plus they never seem to have an answer to any questions like this, though that could just be that they are retarded.

Just because God talks to someone dosn't mean they aren't schizo
>>768032736
Good answer, i always knew some of the bible was considered mythology, and i like that about it. Mythology is fucking cool some of the stories are cool but i don't get where you guys draw the line?
>>768032736
what christian denomination are you part of?
>>768033013
>they never seem to have an answer to any questions like this
...did you not see my answer to the questions like this?
>>768032409
What, in your mind, is Christianity? What do you think the Bible says? "Here are a list of rules, if you keep all these rules you'll be better than everyone else and then something something blood of Jesus, so you get the things you pray for and a Heaven Pass"?
>>768033230
troll or retarded or missed the point of ops question
>>768033272
That wasn't me, i'm actually curious i'm not in the business of calling theists retarded, enough of them are doctors ect which means plenty of them are smarter than me.
Nah, he stopped ages ago. He realised how retarded people are.
Like he said to Ramses or some other pharaoh - dude let my Jews go or I'll demolish your Egypt's anus. So he did demolish Egypt's anus and only then that pharaoh let the Jews go.
Let's take Mohammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmad (peace and blessings be upon him) - he's an obvious schizophrenic, there're accounts of him going into epilepsy when "talking to God".
>>768033502
your a fucking retard the bible is full of people doing stuff akin to 'going into epilepsy when talking to god'
>>768032736
Also when some people say 'god spoke to me' is that a sort of metaphor for figuring something out or having an epiphany.
