the voice of delusion

Posted on 25/12/2022 by Nightpoet

“You know that voice you hear inside your head when you think that

God or Jesus is talking personally to you? Well it’s the same voice

that people hear when they think that aliens are contacting them

or that the Devil is telling them to do something. It is the voice of delusion…”
