...at some point we all make our choices as to the best available explanation of what we experience...
Indeed. In the end, we all die not knowing much about anything, and also not knowing whether what we think we know is actually true. I'm for tolerance with respect to fundamental beliefs, so long as those beliefs don't advocate action or inaction that leads to the harm of people of good will. True, it's not always easy to know what will or won't harm people of good will in the long run, but we do right if we try hard to figure that out at all times and in all places.
Best regards...
A fairly reasonable perspective, imho.
However, I do believe that "MY SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE" is also quite potent. . . that we can KNOW because we know because we know WHOM we have been walking with . . . for however many days, months, decades.
RELATIONSHIP TRUMPS RELIGION any day.
