"The God-knowing individual is not one who is blind to the difficulties
or unmindful of the obstacles which stand in the way of finding God in
the maze of superstition, tradition, and materialistic tendencies of
modern times. He has encountered all these deterrents and triumphed over
them, surmounted them by living faith, and attained the highlands of
spiritual experience in spite of them. But it is true that many who are
inwardly sure about God fear to assert such feelings of certainty
because of the multiplicity and cleverness of those who assemble
objections and magnify difficulties about believing in God. It requires
no great depth of intellect to pick flaws, ask questions, or raise
objections. But it does require brilliance of mind to answer these
questions and solve these difficulties; faith certainty is the greatest
technique for dealing with all such superficial contentions."
