Re: Are there things outside those that can be tested?

What about beauty? I have seen pictures I thought were beautiful that others thought simply paint smears.
These are things that can only be tested or verified subjectively,unless,you can find a means by which to measure them that people involved can agree upon in which case they,too,fall into that category.

I don't think you are lying about anything, am I right?
I do detect a emptyness in your heart though, nothing to major, just a gap that needs to be filled. Your name is Happy Atheist, but you are sad about something, theres a hole there somewhere. I keep seeing blackness, does that make any sense? Thats the picture the Holy Spirit gave me.
Why would you ask H.A. to confirm what the Holy Spirit told you was true? Either it is a definite communication from the holy spirit {in which case there is no need to confirm}or you need to confirm because you have no real idea.You are asking him to confirm that which you claim to know already.If you really want to impress him with your so-called talk with the Holy Spirit be specific and tell him why he has blackness,a hole, as you say rather than being vague. Tell him exactly the thing that is represented by this blackness so it is something he can be certain was not B.S. on your part.
I will put money on your inability to do so.

Sorry to intrude H.A. I will try to restrain myself in the future.

If 2 million people all feel the same thing when searching for God, is that still subjective?
Absolutely. Unless you have a means of quanitfying feelings that can be measured in a laboratory it is indeed still subjective.You cannot feel what another person feels so you cannot determine if it is the same thing that you feel.

You can talk about it and agree to it being the same thing but because humans are social creatures and complex in the reasons for their actions how do you tell between those who actually feel the way you do and those who are putting on a show for any number of reasons?{fear of authority,acceptance by pretending to fit in etc..}
One also wonders where you found the time to talk to 12 million people.
