@sonship saidThis analogy is a dud just as it was the last umpteen times you trotted it out. Our knowledge about "gravity" is not the result of any kind of process that is comparable to the speculation about supernatural things and all the assertions you make about unprovable things because of your faith. It's a dud. It's an analogy that Dasa used to use. It was a dud then TOO when he used it to support HIS farfetched superstious notions.
@divegeester
Divegeester, if you and I are standing on the 20th floor of a tall building and I decide to jump out of the window, I will suffer the result of the law of gravity. Unless something else happens the law of gravity will pull me down to crash on the ground below.
Now if you warn me that that is going to be the result if I would be so foolish to jump t ...[text shortened]... b]2.) [/b] Or will I suffer death hitting the ground because I don't believe everything you believe?

Quick, run to the name "Dasa" for support.
What the Christian has to convince her that she is on the right track is the Speaker - Jesus Christ - His life, His words, His testimony on this earth.
You can choose to believe such a Person is believable.
Or you can choose that such a Person is not there.
I am not an expert on Dasa' Hinduism. But Christ of history spurs us on to believe we are on the right track.
And, through His Holy Spirit we find that mysteriousy He is available and knowable. We can experience Him and we know what has happened in our lives we cannot account as having been entirely self-manufactured.
Somebody changed me. And I know it was not me.
When I read through the New Testament, I can say "I have experienced that. I know what that is talking about."

@sonship saidThe analogy about gravity is a dud. You have used it countless times. It was pointed out to you that it was a dead pretty much every time. Your superstious "truth" claims here in this community cannot be compared to the "truth" of gravity.

What we have is Jesus Christ of the Gospels a Jesus Christ of history.
Now if you want to get all convinced that Jesus was a hoax you go to somebody like Richard Carrier. Maybe he can help you to believe Jesus Christ is all a daydream. Then you can comfort yourself that no such person ever existed.
Some of us, though, see Jesus as the 800 pound golden gorilla in the smack middle of the living room of human history. You cannot ignore such a man.

@sonship saidSo it's as "real" as "gravity", is it?
We can experience Him and we know what has happened in our lives we cannot account as having been entirely self-manufactured. Somebody changed me. And I know it was not me. When I read through the New Testament, I can say "I have experienced that. I know what that is talking about."

Enjoy your gushing. Your place is going to be with Satan and his angels in the lake of fire, because you teach and encourage disobedience to the commandments of Christ.
Cut and paste ONE example of me "encouraging disobedience to the commandments of Christ."
I bet that you won't. That would mean that you bear false witness.
