Generally speaking, anybody who claims to have a private line on God should be viewed with profound suspicion. Such a person is either deluded or evil.

Then so much for the gnostic, meditation-based religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc.

Generally speaking, anyone who claims to judge the validity of anyone else's personal relationship with God is either deluded or evil.

And I say that anyone who thinks NO ONE has a personal relationship with God is deluded or evil.

Oddly enough that is the flip side of the coin.

I consider that I have a private and direct line to God any time I wish to make use of it. What I do not have is an exclusive line to God. Just because He is giving me personal and specific attention doesn't mean that He isn't and at the same time giving specific and personal attention to other, unlimited-number-of people too.

That’s right. Anybody can be saved and born again and get on that line.

Ditto on that.
One need not attend a church, or be part of a formal religious sect to establish a personal union with God and the Holy Spirit. Religion is simply put, a means by which we socially ritualise our belief system, but the fact is, despite what they want you to believe, churches do not exist in order to tell you what God thinks. The church is neither the guardian nor the dispenser of God's presence or of God's thoughts.

What does that mean “private line on God”? Are you talking about prayer, the Word, revelations, what?

Right up there with those who claim to possess Truth.
