"God talked to me today"
Moving story - but one cannot help but feel great sadness for the little boy. His parents seem to find great difficulty in having faith in anyone or anything. They drugged their child into oblivion because the idea of him"hearing" God so terrified them. What would their friends say? My God - how could they explain a Baptist in the family!
God is real - religion is not. Your fear of one has closed you off from the other. BELIEVE IN SOMETHING - IF ONLY YOUR SON - and perhaps his sweet soul will return. Children are all close to God - until we insist they lose their faith and adopt our beliefs and grow up.
May God forgive you, truly, and repair the damage done. Now it is time for you to be still and listen.
