God Told Me To

Ever noticed...something odd when people say, "God told me to..."?

I don't question the possibility (well, actually, I do...a little).

But, I am suspicious when it feels like this phrase is used to legitimize something, shut down a conversation or close something off.  Not to mention the rather selective nature of when this does (does not) get used.  ...which is what makes me wonder about the objectivity the statement seems to claim.

It often feels like an announcement; and, not an invitation.
