Though the fact that so many people who are psychotic believe they hear God or Jesus talking to them is real but it could just be the effect of knowing so many others have had that experience that we expect it ourselves.
I don't know. I have a masters in science and believe in logic though I know there are mysteries of the universe and life we have not solved.

I respect that. One of my best friends- the therapist- is very logical and used to be a scientist with a PhD. He never criticizes the fact that I’m in a church choir and go to church every Sunday. I know I saw angels at church that one time because AFTER the fact, a friend of mine said I described them exactly as the Bible does- without having read the Bible or hearing someone else’s description of them. Being in the church choir makes me happy! I get to sing with friends and it gives me a feeling of being safe. To do something with one purpose together- and that is to emulate the scriptures read during the service giving them more meaning. I have never read the Bible. I only know what I’ve been told by others and what is read during the services - and of course as a choir we are enhancing the scriptures in a powerful way. That’s our job! It’s not a concert. Not to mention my son and ex husband are in the choir and there is a special bond between us when we sing together.
Just my two cents. Singing makes me happy deep into the core of who I am. I am meant to sing! And I consider it a miracle that my voice came back after 8 years of not being able to sing. I can’t tell you how heartbroken I was when I couldn’t sing!
