Personal experience

[ib.me.ub]

No one has ever returned from a personal experience with god with any new information. Why? Surely god would have given someone, something of value or something we did not know. Instead nothing, silence, indifference to our plight and our need for knowledge. Instead the only gains we have made is through our own hard work and application of critical methods and thinking. The one thing he could do to verify a personal experience he refuses to do. All this is much more likely assuming atheism is true. Is it asking to much for just 1 of the billions of encounters people have had with god would have yielded something useful to us or new to us?

It terms of religion, that information would have to come from a recognised prophet. The problem is, the different churches around the world don't actually recognise modern day prophets.

Especially the Christian Church. They have a good little thing going with Jesus and his so called return. Why would they accept another prophet when he is the only one the rely upon. And it works for them.

Also, the Islamic Church has Muhummad. The so called last prophet. So same type of thing. Stick with what you know works.

I am sure this can be said about many of the religions. And I am also sure that many new very good ideas have been though of but not recognised. In todays society people take differnet avenues to get their point accross. If the Church were to recognise a modern day prophet, I imagine things would change very quickly for the better, or change very quickly for the worst!

Would you be willing to take that risk?
