That should be sufficient proof of the existence of that deity.

How do you know you're not feeling the 'spirit' of Odin and misinterpreting it as the 'spirit' of Jehovah?

At least, that's what christians say when I ask them why God can't just show himself plainly to everyone. Have G/C and Drich's free will been violated because of the incontrovertible proof god has given them?
We have chosen to find God. The choices we have are to that end and that end alone. 'freewill' is a ancient greek construct and not of the bible.
