The Problem of Evil combined with the problem of Free Will

[Harry Nevis]

Christians can't claim that any other religious believer can't have an authentic experience.  You're all on the same sandy footing.

I am still not sure the precise nature of other religion's claims to a personal relationship with God. As I mentioned, if all a religion is describing is a personal awareness of God, I will grant that is not only possible, I would say it is true (as the Romans verses mention). So if that is the case, what's left is to examined the religions for evidence, internal consistency, predictive power, and answers to life's basic questions (including foundations for morality, purpose, value, and the future).

And christianity would not hold up to that scrutiny any better than any other religion.
