Divine Intervention

As a Christian and certified Evangelist I have recently encountered a moral/ethical dilemma that you might be able to help me with.  About a month ago GOD began talking directly to me and telling me which moves to make in my online games.  I was unsure whether this was technically cheating or not but I followed HIS guidance and played through HIS prompting.  As a result my rating went up by 300 points in a short time.  I was feeling very guilty about this but I also wanted to get my rating to up to 1,500 so despite my moral discomfort I continued to listen to HIS moves.  To my dismay HE went off the boil and the London System that HE was getting me to play was leaving me positionally weak in the middle-game.  My rating dropped.  My belief in the perfection of GOD as a fundamental tenet of my faith had been seriously undermined.  I cannot believe in a GOD who plays such poorly thought out openings for White.  I have now lost my faith altogether.  Are there any religious/spiritual players out there (Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists et al) whose Gods have a solid positionally sound opening for White which can hold up against a well played Sicillian?

Gods suck at everything. Best to stay away from their advice... and stop cheating

Those damn atheists have got the game wrapped.

As an atheist, I lol'd at your post.

You could listen to Chuck Norris, he is the only one who can play perfect chess against himself and win with black and white pieces in the same game.

Chuck Norris can checkmate his opponent with only a king.

I'd be asking for my money back from the breakfast cereal company or "institution" that lead you into a dud contract! and also suggest you dont trust your own perception of god stories & voices in future. And stop preaching "Certifiable Evangelism" with information that was proved wrong on a chess site!

Is not the will of God to walk for chess and The God has not talk to you so just wake up from the dream and come to reality. How you prove that God has talk to you ? Maybe some demon(diabolos) has talk to you.The God is out of chess so please don't involve God in chess, please.

Is known that God does not play dice, so he probably plays chess.

He can also promote his knights into queens.

"There are a few simple rules for posting on Chess.com.

#1 - Respect others. Do not be mean.

#2 - No profanity, swearing, or inappropriate language or topics.

#3 - No religious or political debate or commentary in these forums. Religion and politics are important and deeply personal, but Chess.com is a friendly community where we come together around a common love for chess and debating these two topics tend to pull people apart. If you would like to discuss religion or politics, you may want to join this group =>Open Discussion Group."

These are the forum posting rules.

The God is already involved with chess. It's not like The God is raping virgins anymore

Forum-mall-cop!

The lack of debate in those and other topics also tend to pull people apart, but in a more damaging way.

I give this thread no more than 20 posts altogether before is is locked or deleted.

I prefer to get my move suggestions from a black labrador ...

I say it stays... call it

Jack Bauer doesn't see chess pieces...he sees lethal weapons.

I do recall a chess oriented church...Our Lady of Perpetual Check.

To the original poster: why do you assume god (any god, for that matter) wants you to win the games you're questioning?  Why did you not equally question the games where the guidance lead you to win?

(I don't see this thread as debating nor discussion religion, so I don't know what to make of the post that is quoting the rules.  But then again I don't equate religion and the word god.)

To Jemptymethod:  Yes, great song off a great album!
