I have spoken to hundreds of you personally (over the years and various websites) on what you have done specifically, not one of you has A/S/K'ed as outlined in luke 11. Not once. You all believe it to be about sincerity or checking off items on a check list. Therefore your efforts always have a start point and an end. This method disqualifies you each and every time.
A method that you can't say was unsuccessful if you tried for fifty years 'because you didn't try long enough' isn't much of a method.
However, that is not my main objection to it. My main objection to it is that it probably usually works, and it will work just as well if you're trying to 'know' if Papa Legba is real as it does for Yahweh. If you try hard enough to convince yourself of something long enough, you are likely to succeed, sooner or later, if what you're trying to believe doesn't directly contradict the evidence of your senses...and I think it would work sometimes even then. It's clearly a method of self-brainwashing. And things that are really true shouldn't require you to brainwash yourself to believe them.

If this were true, you should be able to show it's true.

Becaue the Bible is true because it's from the Holy Spirit, and we know the Holy Spirit is true because it's in the Bible, which we know is true because it's in the Bible, which is from the Holy Spirit....and round and round you go.

Like the New Testament.

Very simple if you want the treasure you must carfully follow the map.
The 'map' works for any 'treasure' you decide you want to believe in, in advance. It works just as well for finding Krishna as it does for finding Jesus.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
