Presentation post for 2/22 Speaking to God

So, how about a couple of atheists talking about talking to god? This'll be fun.

In light of the topic and his passing today, here are some of Billy Graham's thoughts on the topic:
"Prayer 101: How Do I Talk To God?"

And a couple of interesting reads besides
via NPR:
"Prayer May Reshape Your Brain... And Your Reality"
 via Psychiatric Times:
"Neutotheology: Are We Hardwired for God?"
via Breitbart (click at own risk):
"Roy Moore Says 'God's Will' Determines Election Outcome"
via Newsweek: 
"Like Mike Pence, Oprah Winfrey Speaks to A Higher Power: 'If God Actually Wanted Me to Run' for President, 'Wouldn't God Kinda Tell Me?"

And a few questions, not so much a quiz, but more to get everyone thinking on what we're thinking on
1) Do you, or did you, pray or speak to god on any kind of regular basis?
2) Do you/did you expect an answer? In what sort of time frame?
3) Did he ever return the call? What did he say/how did it feel?
4) What do you think of those that say god explicitly told them to do something?

Posts are encouraged, see you lot tomorrow.
