So would it be fair to say that that is also the closest thing we have to God's essence?
Quote:4) Like I said before and Rhythm as pointed out, I only know of two ways: a) Through reason - knowledge of god as mediated through the things participating in god; b) Through "Revelation" - knowledge of god directly from god itself.
What line of reasoning would that be?
How would a revelation be recognizable as direct knowledge from God and what would trigger such a revelation?
We can't care about the truth until we know the truth, so until knowledge can be provided it remains the case that "If there is a God how could I possibly care even if I wanted to?".
