Dis-Member, many people have had personal relationships with God. The Bible is full of them, so it is possible.
As for that 'gooey' feeling, you need to read the book of Psalms, where MEN, especially David, expressed their deep love for God.
The Bible says a lot of things about alot of stuff that apparently happened thousands and thousands of years ago and not a single word of it can be proven.
I live now, not back then. I have never met anyone that can describe their relationship with God with any real clarity or realism.
As I already said.. I don't doubt for a second that person can think that they can obey God, live for God, worship God.. yes even love God.. that's not really the queston here is it? The question is "can anyone have a real relationship with God"..
Unless you want to redefine what the whole meaning of the word 'relationship' is then I'd say the answer is still a probable no.
Sorry but I have never really taken to David. That business with Uriah and that chick ruined it all for me.
Seems strange also that God makes friends with killers (Moses), mass murderers (David), adulterers (David again), fornicators (David, Solomon) worhisppers of false Gods (Solomon and others), butchers of Christians (Saul) etc etc.. but the elders tell you can destroy your relationship completely and utterly if you have a fag or go to the YMCA or read this website..
Forgive me but this all sounds like complete and utter delusional madness.
