>There is a very big distinction between 'knowing' it and 'believing' it.

True, I can't disagree with that. I am too much of a natural skeptic myself to 
not admit that I have constant doubts about God and struggle with my faith on a 
pretty regular basis. Heck, if someone like Mother Theresa admits to doubts, I 
certainly wouldn't claim to be more holy than she! 

I do believe though that those that seek personal knowledge of God and ask him 
for it faithfully will find that personal truth, and that is what I have 
experienced. It's easy enough to explain away of course, saying people have 
religious faith *because* it makes them feel safer and better and they want to 
believe there is something after death, and any experience of God is all in 
their head. If someone is determined to not believe in God, they will never 
have a problem finding a logical reason for that position.
