Yup. The main voice I hear is “God.” I hear a lot of things involving religion and I am not a religious person in any aspect.

Is he friendly?
I heard that in the auditory hallucinations of many schizophrenics he is friendly and very intelligent.
At first he was very kind, demanding, asked me to prove my faith. Had me pray a whole bunch and follow a bunch of commands. He slowly got more mean and I then started hearing both God and the devil when I decided that God couldn’t be so cruel. Now he mostly tells me to quit smoking and to pray to him. When I do give in to the hallucinations I feel a physical pull and my neck moves without my consent to look up at the sky/ceiling. These are the times I believe maybe there is a God and maybe I hear both. But then I remember I’m schizophrenic.

Oh yes. I had the bible under my pillow to protect me from demons. My guardian angel Jerek protected me too. Never left my side…until meds kicked in.
I thought I was Jesus for a day there…just got a trip to emergancy for that one!

Yes, in my first episode of sz I believed the evil spirits had access to my mind and when I was Catholic I had a voice telling me I was a saint.
Nowadays not much religious content.

I had an nde and started believing in God. It was instantaneous. Before, I was an atheist and couldn’t comprehend God. After some bad paranoia years later, I’m a Christian now.

Yes my psychosis was mostly related to seeing demonic entities, angels, Jesus and shadow people.
I hate religion and this stupid illness!

I disagree with the idea that delusions of grandeur are just an extension of inappropriate self importance or arrogance. That’s like saying people hear negative voices because they are bad people.

I experienced mania for years in the past.
I suffered from religious and spiritual delusions on a daily basis.
This was when I was on an Antidepressant.

Self importance and arrogance are different things. For me self importance is simple it means placing too much importance on the self. So for example believing your important enough to be the son of god. But for me to deal with that delusion. I had to tell myself I am equal to everything else in this world and equally unimportant. I am equal to the street rat and the lion in the jungle.

My body parts (whether my hand, leg, fingers, head, etc.) get moved without my consent too! At one time in one of my classes, my head/neck was moved and my eyes were moved forcefully to look at my teacher’s bottom…it was then that I heard this negative male entity say “I warned you”. Since that, and a bunch of other things I live every day in fear of my body being moved without my consent. It happens at least once a day, and almost always at night. It’s scares me since I feel it’s out of my hands to stop it! I can’t control something that I don’t know is going to happen, grrr. So it’s difficult to get through each day for me, because of this on top of the voices and a plethora of other things.
Yeah I’ve had some ■■■■ with witch craft, wicca, the occult, ect.

I am sorry to hear that your body gets controlled too. It makes it hard to go anywhere in fear of it happening again. I understand completely where you are coming from. Its been happening a lot less for me lately so I’ve been getting out more. Just enjoying it while it last.
I’m glad it’s been happening less for you! I hope they stop controlling your body completely asap

When I was a teen, I had moments where I thought the reason I was ill was that I had sold half my soul to the devil.
I still sometimes get worried that if I think about the devil or demons or ghosts too much, I’ll accidentally invite some in.

I thought I saw Jesus standing on the other side of the street motioning me to come over. I walked against the red light and was nearly hit by a car according to my coworkers I was with. I made it across the street unaware of the traffic. Just the vision of Jesus.

yes I had very vivid hallucinations and voices to add to the psychotic trip
Religion is the playground of the delusional aspect of my mind.
