A Serious Question For Theists

[Confused Ape]

You don't have to assume a deity exists before you can demonstrate its existence. You must experience his existence before you can demonstrate it.

Copied from a topic I made - My New Age Perception - - The Goddess Is "Real

Today is May Day so I switched over to "New Age Perception". It's like I'm aware of the planet as a living entity. I also have an inner image of the Venus of Willendorf. This is just one of several Venus Figurines from the Upper Paleolithic period. Nobody knows what the figururines meant to the people who made them but modern Goddess worshippers have adopted the Willendorf figure as a symbol of the Great Mother Goddess. My unconscious mind decided to use it as well. It's not something I'd have consciously chosen, however, because I think it's grotesque.

I had a related experience when I visited the Anglican Shrine Of Our Lady Of Walsingham. When I was in the Church and Holy House I was aware of a powerful female presence but she was far older than Christianity.

Some years ago I had a dream about Apollo - he had an awesome presence and, in the dream, I knew he was a god.

I could claim that I've experienced The Goddess and Apollo but there's no way I could demonstrate it because the experiences were purely subjective. They were produced by my brain.
