I sympathize to some degree, but:

A) I don't think Jesus was a sociopath. :-)

B) I talk to God all the time, and freely give answers to my "followers" and 
humankind. But I don't claim infallibility or absolute authority.

The real issue I think is the -kind- of authority we claim. The source of that 
authority -- divine, rational, or structural -- appears less problematic than 
its absolutism.
