When it happens, you will know that I have told you the truth. Is it possible for me to misunderstand? Yes, of course, it is, but the future will reveal this to both me and you.

But I have the spirit of God.  How come I don't undertand?I have studied and prayed until I'm purple. Just look at my Avatar!

Quote To science God is a possibility, to psychology a desirability, to philosophy a probability, to religion a certainty, an actuality of religious experience.
