Some people here say that in order to find out what is in the box you got to open it up.
That appear the only way to find out.
I would have thought that if i am in love with somebody whether is a physical person or we are dealing with spiritual love it would be a bit difficult to demonstrate that that love is real and that reality is real.
But maybe i am totally wrong and i will have to follow these people advise so i have no choice but to open the box to see if that love is real.
At this stage i am unwilling to open my box as i am quite busy with my commitment so i do need a volunteer to help with this task.
I only have to open their own box (in this case their chest cage) and go to inspect their heart to see if love is there or not (concrete evidence).
I promise that i will do this job very professionally and no pain will be felt.
Thanks for your help.
Couldn't you think of anything more stupid to post than this?

I speak idiot. His point is that claiming you have to open a box to know what is in it is like claiming you have to perform open heart surgery on someone to know if they love you. That love isn't actually located in the heart is the smallest error Enrico makes.
The fundamental error is that no one here claims that the only way to know what is in a box is to open it. For example, you could x-ray it, sonogram it, weigh it, rattle it, check it for labels, and so on. Those things can give enough evidence to justify reasonable conclusions about what's inside, just like a loved one's behavior can justify reasonable conclusions about whether he or she loves you.
The problem isn't that we can't open the box that represents God in Enrico's scenario, it's that there is no box to examine at all.
