I prefer the route of simply accepting the proclamations that others make. If empiricism, for example, is not the proper context for god knowledge..then this reduces god knowledge to intuition, some a priori whatsit. While that may sound like a good idea to someone who doesn't want to present empirical demonstration of a god.....it has the amusing tick of certifying any intuition or a priori knowledge that there is -no- god.
So, how do we resolve that disparity? Well, a person who rejects empiricism can't exactly appeal to empiricism to determine that they're better intuiters..now can they? Meanwhile, an empiricist needs only hold out their arms and say "...well..your intuition is telling you something that just doesn't appear anywhere, huh?"
