How do I know the things I know?

[Akincana Krishna dasa]

Not so with religion. Religion starts with a conclusion: god exists. It then seeks anything that can be interpreted as evidence for god, and throws out everything else. It took the church centuries to admit that the earth wasn't flat. We laugh now at the idea, but in a few hundred years, people may be laughing at the ideas held now.

Religion has established a conclusion that is verifiable and has been consistently verified by saints for many many generations.

When you talk about "throws out everything else" what does that mean, exactly? The evidence that there is no God? Cause I'd like to know if you have some.

Please don't mix me up with christian church politics. Obviously they've done a really sloppy job, it's not my scene at all.
