theistic_sheep, it would be interesting to hear about your perceived interactions. In my experience such things are purely perception and can quite often be explained by things ranging from the power of suggestion to mental illness.

Looking at the world as a whole do you not think that it more likely that your perceptions could be deceiving you. Whether it is for comfort as a kind of self defense mechanism or just merely a strong desire for god to exist. Obviously I don't know you so this is just speculation, but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts. I quite often find that when someone believes an experience that is divine has occured there is an underlying reason, this reason and the associated experience stops them questioning or analysing their experience.
