God told me to post this comment

Why is it that when people "discover religion" they always say "God spoke to me..." Why do religious people think so little of themselves that they can't have a conscience or thoughts of their own that tell them what's right and wrong? Humans are supposed to have that ability. In the June 4, 2007 publication of the New Yorker, Tom DeLay says, "God has spoken to me...I listen to God, and what I've heard is that I'm supposed to devote myself to rebuilding the conservative base of the Republican Party, and I think we shouldn't be underestimated." Are you kidding?! What God, if it COULD actually speak, would give someone political advice? It's absolutely ridiculous!
