Well, my FRiend, that’s called Faith. And it’s impossible to please God (or even find Him) without it. I can’t see, touch or smell Him but I know He exists. My spirit is in touch with His Spirit and it witnesses to me that He IS.

Does it seem interesting at all to you that people of other religions throughout history and today would say the same thing about feeling the presence of the deity(ies) they believe in? I got teary-eyed at the end of Finding Nemo even though Nemo and Dory and Marlin don't actually exist, of course. You can't rely on your feelings because they can easily be manipulated. You can't determine anything factual just because of an emotional/spiritual response.

Faith has nothing to do with feelings. Faith is KNOWING, not warm fuzzy stuff called feelings.
