Can one henceforth say "I know God exists" without:
a) that being an illogical thing to say?
b) having to prove it to anyone (for we have seen it is possible to know things whilst not being able to prove them)?
c) being of necessity considered delusional?
If so then the limitations of my logic will do me fine
You can say it, but given that everything that humans have ever known has been empirically derived, don't expect anyone to believe you.

Re: Faith and Belief versus Empiricism

The fact that you never responded to my last post shows that you have a general disdain for the very idea.
Sorry, but I missed that post.
You mean the idea of God?
No, I just dislike others passing of their faith as MY truth. I respect other's beliefs, I would like them to respect mine.
