I see people who claim to talk to god.
That god talks back to them.
They claim to know what god wants because the one cult they chose to follow (out of over 200 on earth) has that god's word all scribbled down for everyone to read (and for none of the followers to agree upon, by the way).
They pretend that mumbling into their hands somehow transmits their messages and wants to their god, and that he's sitting "up there" somewhere taking notes...answering some mumblings, ignoring other mumblings. I saw a rodeo once, and when the rider dismounted, he thanked his god for a safe bull-ride. Why did he pretend that some god was doing that? Why does anyone? Is it a low self-esteem? An over-inflated ego making one think they know and talk with a god?
I know there is no logic or reasoning involved here. Does anyone have any idea why people pretend this way, or why they have these delusions?
