no you would not.
Let us say a god exists and he wants to get you a message.
you cannot know if it is from him or if you hallucinate due to a psychosis or something else. Considering that the hallucination/drugs/psychoterror or whatever it is is the way more likely scenario.
You know that in the Bible people have communicated with God and told him the sign that they were looking for and that is how they would know?
Just look at the story of how Abraham received his wife Sarah in the first place. Remember the well and the camel?
So what happens if I tell the hallucination that I will take the sign of getting every single green light to and from my destination as a sign that it is from God? If I have 7 sets of lights to go through to and from, the chances of me going straight through on a green light with all 14 sets are very unlikely.
A hallucination would not be able to do such a thing, once I get a red light then I would take that as a sign that it wasn't from God after all and just a hallucination. Even if it was humans playing a prank, they still can't control the lights. Something like that would only be possible through God being in control.
That would have been my last backstop for me to stop the killing from happening. Hallucinations don't control lights, humans don't control the lights but God could if he truly wanted it to happen.
So therefore yes I would know if the message brought to me were not of God almighty.
Oh and by the way you won't be seeing me post for a full week as I'm going away on a Christian camp so don't bother continuing. I won't see the next message for over a week and a half. When I return we shall see what happens then. This is my final post before camp.
