An Experimental Approach to Faith and Reason

The exis­tence of God-dess can­not be con­clu­sively proved or dis­proved. God-dess exists beyond time, space, rea­son, and con­cep­tion as well as in time, space, rea­son, and con­cep­tion. There­fore, we can know God-dess to the degree we com­pre­hend his-her self-revelation at the moment. So, it comes down to faith aided by intu­ition and rea­son. Faith is not con­trary to rea­son, how­ever, cer­tain aspects of faith can­not be fully under­stood by us now and remain the great mystery.

Agnos­tics could do well by act­ing and believ­ing in God-dess because there is noth­ing to lose and every­thing to gain fol­low­ing the logic of Pascal’s Wager. We act as if we believe until real belief devel­ops. This is the begin­ning of devo­tion and usu­ally brings the fruits of more eth­i­cal behav­ior, increased hap­pi­ness, feel­ing a sense of pur­pose in life, and treat­ing oth­ers with more love. These tan­gi­ble results inspire more faith which in turn brings more results and more faith. In this way, we can per­form an exper­i­ment and deter­mine for our­selves the results of faith.
