I have come to believe what I believe by a combination of different routes, including the spoken and written word, and in personal ‘visions and profound feelings’ - all tested to my utmost regarding logic and rationality, and my perception of the limits of physical and temporal science.
When I took the ‘Sheep and Goats’ test some while back with a large group of fellow university undergrads., I was the only one to score exactly 50:50. Which means I am not a push over either way, that I test things in a ‘balanced’ way before coming to any conclusion, and that I stay open to the possibility of new information altering belief - but only after that had been given a thorough grilling.
