The way to heal this cancer

People either experience god -- or they don't. Experience is knowledge,
and different kinds of experience lend different kinds of knowledge.
No person in the West ever attained or deduced the knowledge of the
existence of Krishna and Kali through rational processes alone. Nor
did it happen with the coelacanth or platypus. Reason cannot prove or
disprove existence, regardless of
self-contradictory texts or self-contradicting ministers.
Knowledge of a god's non-existence is not atheism. It is a faith
statement as rationally deduced as god's existence. |
