How do I know the things I know?

Did not the babble-book say anyone who sees god will die?

Don't you think that maybe this 'seeing' god is actually just interpreting things that are completely natural as acts of god? Why do we have to 'find' god anyway? Should we take our seniors' word for it? Why does god value belief over worship; shouldn't he just reveal himself to everyone and see who will follow?

1. Maybe, but no, I don't think so. Do you ever think your faith in scientism is actually just interpreting acts of god as completely natural?

2. You certainly don't have to if you don't want to.

3. Depends. Sometimes it's smart to take your seniors words on things, other times, not. I'm sure we've all had both experiences.

4. Who says God values belief over worship? He does reveal Himself to everyone and sees who follows.

Vedic mythology offers no theories, and no explanations. Vedic mythology offers...wait for it....mythology. You and I are clearly operating on different definitions for the words theory and explanation. Beyond enjoying a story...I fail to see why I would even need what little vedic mythology offers. They got any good bread recipes in there, cure for cancer maybe?

Vedic knowledge offers a complete explanation of reality from a perfect authority. As for Vedic knowledge offering "mythology" - well, I guess anyone can just say whatever they what about whatever they want, whether they know anything about anything or not. Talk to me what makes something a myth.

Scientism - the view that empirical science can entirely explain reality, based on the fallible authority of the human attempt at knowledge - is a myth.

Honey, I see further when drunk and stupid than you do in your greatest moments of clarity. You and your Vedic bums continue to worship at the altar of the Vienna Circle while the rest of us have passed over into Popper land, and beyond. I doubt this will be the last turning of the screw, but lagging over a half century behind the state of the art simply makes you pathetic. There is a reason why the science that you practice is called 'pseudoscience', and not because it's more special. It's because it only apes the real thing. A spirituality based in pseudoscience can only result in cargo cult gods and von Daniken wonders. This is what is meant by the intellectual sewers and you wallow in their filth.

I am greater than Arjuna. More god than Krishna. More Buddha than Buddha. But small men cling to small answers and cannot separate. Enjoy your Gods in miniature. It is all you have.
