I am in no doubt about the reality of God, because I seek only that and refuse the symbols, and have thus not had to waste time on things that can never tell you if he is there or not. I looked at the things that would tell you if he was there or not, and I am satisfied with the answer. I am convinced that anyone else that does the same will get the same answer. Those that disagree are welcome to repeat what I did and then say they do not find the same thing, but if they do not repeat the "experiment", they cannot say if I am right or not; that is how truth is established in Physics, for instance.

But if instead you go after the forms, you have rightly pointed out that that can be done for its own sake, and the truth is that wherever those symbols are used in defiance of the principles of any religion, then you will never find out the truth of that religion by using forms and symbols that it forbids.

That's why most of the people in churches don't know God at all, despite often wishing they did; they are stuck in a system that derives from an attempt to force a pagan form of priesthood on Christianity. Prior to that council, Christianity thrived, and wherever Christians renounce what that council taught, they thrive, but wherever churches act as specified at Laodicea, they are dead, dead, dead, and the knowledge of God can only get into the congregation by accident or by leaving.
