I have started to suspect that knowledge of God comes largely from perception and personal experience. It's like watching a movie with a friend. You might take it as a just a fun popcorn film. Your friend might find significance in certain elements of the film. From there you could have a debate about whether the director intended a deeper reading of the film or whether they were accidental plot features. If the director doesn't return phone calls, such a debate can never be fully resolved.That is completely true.
However, you, your friend, and all the other people who saw the movie at the same time as you may all have different opinions, ideas, feelings etc about/from the movie, the fact is that everyone can independently verify the existence of said movie.
