Lyle philosophers and logic have very little in common.

Mike I fail to see how a conversation with yourself can make you believe in God. If you actually heard him speak or saw a vision then either your sanity is in question or you should lay off illegal substances. Somebody must have spoken to you first and influenced you about God or the bible prior to you praying otherwise you could not have just thought about praying in the first place. Hence my statement about folk having to be told to believe first holds true.
