I lived with him, spent zillions of hours talking with him. He's reliable to me (I'm sure not to you). He's someone I knew well. Well enough to trust him and his experience. He's taught me a lot about how to live my life so that I can eventually fully see God too.
I once knew a man who knew he was Tony Blair's brother-in-law.
Hint: He wasn't Tony Blair's brother-in-law.
He also knew he was being stalked by an invisible dog in a top hat, which people would hide from him, and was in communication with some chart singer, whose name escapes me, through the titles of her songs; but that's a long and alcoholic story.
However, before we get to the aswer to the question of how do you know the things you know, you first have to present evidence that you do actually know those things.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
