| description | Religious people may feel confident that they have something that nonreligious
people lack, namely, direct experience of God. They may claim that
such religious experience, like visions of God, is a way of knowing God’s
existence. This claim has been examined by some scholars and philosophers in
the field of philosophy of religion. The purpose of this writing is to analyze the
reasonableness of believing in the existence of God on the basis of this claim.
The methodological approach of gathering data is mainly through document
analysis on various books of philosophy of religion and philosophy of God. This
writing concludes that visions lack the consistency and predictability needed to
form the basis of any factual belief. |
