Paul, a prophet who was so inspired he fell of his horse, gives us an answer:
Ro:9:20: Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Ro:9:21: Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Ro:9:22: What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Ro:9:23: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
which is amazingly confirmed by a quite different prophet in
Re:2:27: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Basically anyone who isn't a Baptist has been created by God to stoke the fires of Hell.
And as for your major point - it is obvious that I am quite sane, as are all those who speak to and hear God.
Do you remember Frederick Brandenburg? The guy who ran amok in Landover in 1957? Killed 18 people? Yes? Well of course, his lawyer stated quite clearly that Frederick was inspired by God's voice and the whole trial collapsed; he's living over in Des Moines if I remember correctly.
If we are to take God seriously - as we must - then in God We Trust!
