I am not psychotic.
You haven't done much to support that claim, either.

Suspiciousness

Well, you have expressed a lot of suspicion about my motives and the motives of others here who can't see your god.
Quote:Odd beliefs or magical thinking
(e.g., Feeling confused about whether a dream actually happened; Wondering whether other people might be able to read your mind; Finding meaningful connections between unrelated events; Clear and frequent déjà vu experiences or experiences of unreality)
Let's see. An invisible, all-powerful, magical friend, claims of miraculous things that could only be witnessed in a dream state, such as magical cures, disembodied voices, finding hidden, special meaning in blobs of light...
Quote:Unusual perceptual experiences
(e.g., Sounds seeming louder than usual; Seeing shadows that look like people or vague figures out of the corner of the eye; Finding that everyday noises sound like words or have special meaning)
Seeing holy spirits in random light patterns that can easily be shown to be meaningless and easily reproducible...
Quote:Tangential/circumstantial speech
(e.g., Going off track while speaking; Using odd combinations of words)
Hmm. It's pretty rare that you respond directly to my comments or questions. You usually come back with an odd-sounding
non sequitur about how wonderful your god is or some scripture. I've shown the very simple logical fallacies in your claims, but you keep repeating them as if you have no recollection of them. I'm not claiming a diagnosis, but I don't see how you're quite in the clear, either.
