        As the late great Christopher Hitchens once said (paraphrasing here):

        When god hears you that’s prayer. When you hear god that’s mental illness.

        This is a common misconception.

        If you talk to the imaginary being in the sky that is sane and you should be able to buy a tank or a machine gun.

        If the imaginary being in the sky talks to you, you are a crazy person and should be limited to 6 rifles or less.

        Well if the dog says so how can we disagree? Give him a treat and some pats for me.

      Agreed, including all the Evangelical preachers claiming “God spoke to me…”
