I once had total, unequivocal, absolute proof of the Judaeo-Christian God's existence, in a manner that was entirely and profoundly unquestionable to me personally, and it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Not that I was actually scared, just overwhelmed by silenced awe as a myriad of proofs streamed forth, like some timeline narrative of my life with long-forgotten memories of incidental events replayed, each acutely describing God's role in a way that I knew to be absolute and real.
