DH: I never trust internal, subjective things like that.

A-G: Nevertheless, you begin with a willful presumption that precludes ever meeting Christ. So that's "all she wrote".

Not only that, but to tell SUCH a whopper! Whoo! For example, Dominic, are you married? If not, have you ever had sex? Your affirmative answer to either of those questions is only ONE piece of direct evidence against that sentence above which you posted as though it were true. You most definitely have made decisions in your life based, at least in part, upon unseen "internal, subjective" evidence or factors or facts. Have you never tasted a food for the first time? Of course you have! And yet what did you base your decision to do so upon? Certainly upon how it looked and smelled, its own physically observable factors, but also, if I'm not mistaken, you had to have certain unseen factors at work upon the decision as well, such as your level of hunger, the evidence of others eating the food before you, the testimony of some who had previously done so....

As you point out -- physical evidence, like how it looks and smells.

I fell in love with the woman I married because of how she acted, who she was, how she treated me.

When I was a kid in my teens, I "fell in love" with a girl based on purely internal emotion. It was a big disaster, I won't bore you with the details.

I *can* decide what I want to eat tonight based on internal information. Not much risk of getting it wrong, there. But I do *not* want to decide the biggest questions of life, the universe and everything that way.

How many muslims believe that "god says" things we would find heinous???
