I Know

The fool hath said in his mind; "I know there is a gODD, and just one gODD... I know his name, I know his mind and his plans for me... I know where we came from and what happens after we die... I know if I merely believe in gODD I shall live forever in paradise... And all I have to do is pray to gODD, and all my wishes will come true...

Giving the assurance "I know" doesn't suffice...

For it is after all only an assurance that I can't be making a mistake, and it needs to be objectively established that I am not making a mistake about that...

"If I know something, then I also know that I know it, etc..." amounts to: "I know that" means "I am incapable of being wrong about that"... But whether I am so needs to be established objectively...

"I know" often means: I have the proper grounds for my statement...

Then a reasonable man will not doubt that I know...

I know = I can't be wrong

We just do not see how very specialized the use of "I know" is...

For "I know" seems to describe a state of affairs which guarantees what is known, guarantees it as a fact... One always forgets the expression "I thought I knew"

The idea of the unknowable is an insult to human intelligence, and it renders the beliefs of a "Theist" not worth believing...
