How do I know the things I know?

[Akincana Krishna dasa]

If there were a god, no one would be capable of seeing it. Obviously, we must be speaking of an entirely different entity for which there is still no proof other than hearsay. Hearsay is no less than two distorted levels of paraphrase.

Hearsay:
Testimony given by a witness who is not telling what he or she knows personally, but what others have said.

Your point about seeing God is a great one! We can't see God with ordinary vision. The only way we can see Him is if He grants you the vision to see Him.

In other words, God reveals Himself to you on His terms. Not that you demand He reveal Himself to you, and He's forced to do that.

That's why when people demand "where's the proof for God!!" it's like childish whining. Who the hell are you that God would want to know you?

Your point about hearsay doesn't apply here. I told you why I believe in God. I never said that you should believe in God because I do.
