This is something that has always bothered me. I am without your God, and yet I know more than fear. I won't sit here and say that I've never felt fear, because I have just like anyone else. But the majority of my time has been spent with other feelings (a good bit of that being lust, but hey...). It's another one of those "Without god nothing you do is good and right" arguments from back in the day.
I think it is maybe a sort of internal identity struggle manifesting itself in a familiar term which looks like God.
That was *not* God.

I'm not saying that you can't move in a positive direction with this experience, but I am saying it is based off of a messed up western concept of God. God would never refer to you as an ant, you are made in his image, you are an icon of God. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I am very suspicious of the nature of this revelation.

I'm not denying anything you say. I'm not even addressing anything you said, directly.
I was just agreeing with something Kalista said earlier, and giving my opinion of what it may be, if not God.
If you think you have a particular experience and tell someone else about it, if you were mistaken, that does not make you a liar, because you believe what you are saying.
And this is not your thread. I suggest you take your posts so-far, and make a big post out of them to start your own thread, then you can go ahead and criticize those who come on your thread to show their disbelief or whatever you want to label their behaviour towards you as.
