You can hear God speaking to you in your mind if you'll make the effort to pray to Him. However, what He responds back with will never contradict his written word (Bible). People claim God told them to go kill a famous person. What they actually heard was from the devil. They already had some internal reason to want to do the crime anyway.

This is nonsense tautological reasoning. The written word isn't even consistent with itself. Grow up.

  You could have said "This is tautological reasoning. The written word isn't even consistent with itself." And left it at that. As is, your post is just mean.

  I've been studying the Bible as if it was a programming book. Kinda like code for how to live~think. I've found it perfectly consistent when taken all in together. You have to understand the different dispensations being referenced therein. It's really been amazing to actually put it into practice. Take being humble for example. Why would I do that?! Well, it is a concept the Bible mandates. So, I've taken to doing that. I now fully realize how truly stupid I am where previously I felt so smart. I can learn from others much better now.

"People claim God told them to go kill a famous person. What they actually heard was from the devil." Tell that to Abraham.

  God vs devil aside, there was a reason for it in that particular story, and Abraham was given an alternative in the end. That being said, there are numerous other stories where God did tell people to kill (David vs Goliath, the Isrealites vs the various peoples inhabiting the Promosed Land, etc).

    The was a reason for that particular story, true. But Abraham couldn't have known it. He believed he was going to kill his son. The person who kills their child today, upon hearing instruction from "something," is in the exact same position, right up until the act is completed. At that point it's really too horrible to even contemplate that it wasn't God.

A study (that I could find if someone is really interested) found that the zone of the brain that activated when you thought about god was the same as the zone that activated when you thought about yourself. Actually what happens when they hear something unethical is that believing people excuse that on the devil, whereas for atheists it was as stupid moment of yourself.
