My response is that what they teach only reinforces doubt.
What do 'they' teach? I've never seen or heard of anyone going into prisons - or anywhere else for that matter - teaching 'doubt'. What is this doubt and who are these teachers?
I market certainty in Jesus Christ.
They charge me with "making God up". I'm starting to think that it is useless to attempt to disprove this notion.
If you weren't making it up you'd be easily able to prove it wouldn't you?
I and 2 others heard voices from nowhere coming out in the air. We were in a controlled environment (my apartment). Again, you reject the beliefs because in your mind there is simply no way that they could happen.
You are incredibly bad at telling others what they think and believe. Surely you've picked up on that fact now? Every time you say something like that it's wrong and it's been pointed out to you many times by many people. This should tell you that you're misunderstanding people all the time. You're filtering and re-interpreting our answers to fit a model in your head. It's weird to watch.
There are many explanations for your 'voices'. The least likely being god talking to you. You dismiss out of hand the experience of others and you totally ignore the evidence that many millions of people hear 'god' telling them totally different things - even in the same religion. Nobody has ever heard Jesus talk to them that had not previously known about Jesus.
That single experience of yours prevents and pollutes all your other thought processes.
