HOUNI GOUDA
I would like to argue for the likelihood of the existence of Vishnu by
saying that I have experienced Him and so have numerous other people, Hindu
and otherwise. This is based on observation. You and other Christians are
arguing AGAINST Vishnu's existence based on your own lack of experience or
observation. That's like a scientist arguing that an  experiment couldn't
have certain results BECAUSE he hasn't conducted it yet. Agnosticism would
at least make more sense than this. The fact is you have closed your minds.
You won't even conduct the experiment. It's obvious, based on your
voluminous correspondence that it is not due to a lack of free time. I can
only conclude that you are afraid your paradigm 
will be shattered. Why?

I'd like for Brian to explain what he thinks I was doing all the time that I
attended Bible college and during the years that I spent preaching and doing
missionary work.  The results of my experiment were quite different from his.  

Oh, I know, I know.  I wasn't sincere.  Never mind.  I should have figured
it out myself.
