God, a beauty of a subject. It sounds like you have a fair grasp of different concepts of God already. From my heart, I would say, the best and only way to get to know "God's" real qualities, would be to interact with Him/Her. (Agreed, God isn't male or female/personal bias. Lol) . IF, God is...

Okay. You got me:)
But it's a good test of... was that a hallucination or a trick of the senses. Although I suppose a bunch of people could be tricked at once. I've never heard of a mass hallucination. Anyone heard of this? Curious!
This would be a good test between people for people. But...
I think a good test of truth would be if more than one person can verify a fact. Or if a fact can be replicated.
It Doesn't mean a hermit in the woods who sees a woodpecker fly by is hallucinating, but without someone to verify it, others might be less likely to beleive him.
If that is C.S. Lewis opinion, I personally disagree with him. I would rather know my time is short and there is no God or future after this. True, if I had the choice I'd pick the Christian narative. But it ain't my choice. My beleifs don't effect the truth. I've long desires truth over fantasy.
Woah.
I thought it was a mockery of believing the Narnia stories where true. Who was it a quote from?
So I took it as a mockery of Christianity.
And I spoke from that place.
Anyway, without looking back.
I don't want to beleive anything false. Even if it feels good or helps me navigate...
Okay, interesting.
So, if I know something is true, but I can't prove it is true, does that mean I shouldn't beleive it.
Or
Can I know something that I can't prove?

beleive g I have 2 legs is one thing, Narnia, quite another.
However, should I encounter Aslan, then I am likely to beleive the entire set of Narnia books, at leat as a writer's interpretation of something real. It would stand to reason that if I see Aslan today, the backdrop to His...
Haha.
Here's another truth. I think you're intelligent. Honestly.
But can we move on from this. My wheels are spinning out needlessly. I see your point. You make a good point.
I am just gonna beleive I have 2 legs. If I am delusional, well fine:)
