Why? Someone tell me why! God is so silent now! I used to ask and have Him answer me! I would talk to Him and He to me. But now it is like a strained relationship. He does not talk anymore. He is strangly silent. Does it say anything about this in the Word? I would like to know...

Perhaps he feels too confined in a relationship and he's trying to say "Sorry honey, I just need my space." Girlfriend, lets face it, he's just not that into you.
@ Psittacosis,
I certainly hope so.
the son, the father, and the holy ghost cant get to the prayer right now. Please leave a message after the Halleluia.....
welcome to the world of the living!!!!!!
Because your husband is slipping you loxaprine?
Edit:
Yep they deleted the thread. This used to happen to me when I had questions of faith, they basically bully you into submission.
@ Ken -
Yeah, it's really sad, but very typical in fundamentalist circles. People suddenly have questions and doubts, or even walk away, and the communities response is to pretend that they never existed.
If god talks to you, that would make you a prophet. Jesus warned of people claiming to be prophets.
Pretending God talks to you is a dire sin. You will burn in hell for that.
Oooh, yeah, meant to get back to you on that. I just don't think it was working out... it's not you, it's me. I hope we can still be friends... What's that? Am I still up for prayers on Saturday? Yeah, Saturday's not good for me... no, not Friday either, no, next week I'm busy... look, I'll call you when I'm free, okay?
God has had laryngitis for a while, but don't worry, in a few days he'll be back, and chatty as ever!

Started taking your meds, huh? Your "god" appears to have been little more than a figment of your reality challenged imagination.
"I used to ask and have Him answer me! I would talk to Him and He to me"
It's known as Schizophrenia, dear.
"Does it say anything about this in the Word?"
Of course not. Because those who wrote it originally didn't want ordinary peons to get ideas above their stations, and thus question the Church.
"But now it is like a strained relationship. He does not talk anymore. He is strangly silent"
Either the medications & therapy have worked and you're not hearing the 'voices' any more. Or Reason & Logic is (at least on the subconscious level) starting to work it's magic on your neurophysiology. Basically it's the same as when you realised that those chocolate eggs you received in April, the loose tooth replaced with money, and the toys you got in December weren't from the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy & Father Christmas respectively, but came from your PARENTS. It's all part of Growing Up. Only with some people (and definitely in your case) it comes much later in life.
The fact God's not returning your calls (as it were) can only lead to these conclusions (check one):
[ ] God hates fundies, and now only loves Atheists
[ ] God DOESN'T EXIST
Choose wisely.
"He is strangly silent"
Well of course, he's silent if someone strangled him.
Seriously, though, I think hearing the voice of God is an indication of bigger problems than not hearing it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
