Some people think that God has spoken to them...and Mormons will tell you to ask God but they are not the only religion that will tell you to ask God.
I once knew a man that was a paratrooper that jumped into France the night before D-Day...during World War Two. To shorten the story he was shot fifteen times by a German Machine Gunner...mostly head and upper body shots. He lost consciousness and when he awoke...several weeks later...he was in a hospital in England. He eventually learned that it was German soldiers that turned him over to Americans so that he could be medically treated. For the next few years he was treated for his injuries and his face was rebuilt by plastic surgeons and he fully recovered from his wounds to live a fruitful and productive life. During those recovery years he felt that someone or something had been looking out for him so he began studying various religions and he came across Mormonism and for whatever his reasons...he claimed that God spoke to him...he became a devout Mormon and remained a devout Mormon until the day he died. At the time of his death he was quiet well off and owned and operated a mine in Arizona.
There are many religious people that will tell you that they have had a personal experience with God and that is why they are religious.
