In everyday life I use all my senses to verify reality. I also use verification of others to see if my perception of reality coincides with theirs.
I can guarantee you don't use the A/S/K method in every day life. Your continued survival is evidence that you don't.
I am in sales as apart of my Job and I have to ask seek and knock every single day. Anyone who does not have life provided to them does as well. you just may not have been trained to think in such away as to see your A/S/King as such.
Nope. Been on my own for decades. Nice family, nice house, etc. I am a reasonably talented network admin.
I used to be in sales a long time ago. Not too bad at it.
But your sales analogy is flawed.
I knew that my product existed. I knew that prospects existed. I knew that I could make sales. All verifiable and demonstrable.
This does not apply to the Biblical 'god' character.
When I was selling, all my colleagues, no matter what culture they were brought up in or religion they followed, could all verify that the above was true. With your A/S/K method, Muslims and Hindus will not get Christian results. They will get culturally and religiously skewed results. Their results, just like yours, will be loaded with confirmation bias.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
