To give you an example of what I am talking about. Zig Ziggler is a very popular motivational speaker.
Here is a bio on him, and a paragraph from it reads:
"Ziglar’s second revelation came in 1972 while floating in his trademark arrow-shaped swimming pool of his suburban Dallas home. Reflecting on his recent experience of being born again in Tullahoma, Tennessee, he said to himself, “Lord, I know you put this whole big universe together, and I know that someday you’re going to take it down.” Then, after a shooting star passed his gaze, Ziglar heard the following from the heavens above: “That’s right boy, and don’t you ever forget it.” This would not be God’s only direct contact with Ziglar: later Ziglar would hear The Creator interrupt his telephone call to tell him that if Ziglar “would leave it up to [Him, He] would take care of [the] little things for [Ziglar].”"

This is not "what would Jesus do?" kind of stuff. it's I was talking on the phone and god broke into my call to talk to me.
I have met this man, and people like him scare me when in power. Palin reminds me of this man.
