Chabadshlucha,
“Just to clarify I talk plenty throughout my day directly to Hashem too.”
What do you mean by “too”?
“And since people keep bringing it up, lhavdil elef havdalos, the other guy was no tzadik at all and also held himself to be his own SEPARATE power than Hashem. That’s avoda zara.”
No, they claim he was “G-d in the flesh”, chas veshalom, which is frighteningly similar to your arguments here. This whole conversation has been quite disturbing.
