You claim you do. You walk with him and whisper to him and share your secret sexual fantasies with him. I know, Ive heard the whole thing.
I gave it a go, but oddly, I never had this relationship. Naturally, I felt bad, because others claimed to have had a personal relationship where they were talking with God.
Once I cornered these people and asked for specifics about this relationship, it was almost always a 'reading the tea leaves' experience. Stuff like "I asked God whether I should marry her, and the next day I got into an accident..so, the choice was clear...God clearly spoke".
Now, on occasion, you would have people so bold as to say they were audibly hearing God. This was a great gimmick because it immediately conferred onto the person a high spirtual level. After all, God was directly speaking to them, and so long as they delievered this story with some skill, they were off and running in to social heirachy.

The only way someone can be superior to you (whether or not they believe it to be true) is with your permission. You've got to participate in the scam. If you think they're delusional, then their opinions are meaningless. Find another well to dip your bucket in.

Having a relationship with God is very special. It's a supernatural thing. God does not speak to me in an audible voice that I hear with my ears but in my spirit and heart. I'm sorry if it was I who offended you I didn't mean to. I certainly do not think that I'm Superior in anything.

Well the truth is God has spoke to very few people in an audible voice. But when he did, they were people of faith, not unbelievers.
If you want to be spiritually superior then you need to give your life to Jesus Christ and get baptized in his name. Only then will you receieve what is truly superior in Christians lives; the Holy Spirit.
