How would you define a person who has met there God(dess,s). If they have met their Lord, they could no longer believe in their diety becuase meeting that diety would make the diety a fact, atleast to the individual in question.
They don't believe in God becuase they know their God, they still practice their religion becuase they have met the pillar of that religion.
Would they be an Athiest, if so how does that work? Being religious & an Athiest.

I'm confused. Why would knowing Deity is a 'fact' mean a person could no longer believe in a Deity? Belief and disbelief occurs regardless of a particular thing's status as a fact or not-fact. confused

A lot of people say that belief and knowledge are seperate. I personally have never understood why you can't believe in something even if you know it's their. Or at the very least you can have faith in it.
It's not so much a spiritual matter as it is linguistic. Do the defenitions of belief and knowledge oppose each other? Well yes, they sort of do. But then belief in something can be defined differently as well.
I know I have a friend. I believe in their abilities.
In that sort of definition it works.
To throw in my personal opinion, deities would have more followers if they relied less on belief and more on knowledge. A deity showed itself to me I'd be willing to follow it.

If you mean a Deity taking on a physical form, then no, I have not met any. However, as for as conversations and rituals, yes, I have met my Mother Sekhmet-Hethert along with Djehuty (Thoth), Yinepu (Anubis), Wesir (Osiris), Aset (Isis), Ra and Wepwawet. They have helped me in many ways, and Djehuty deisres me to learn all I can. I do not see them as anything less than Divine, but my relationship with them is more that of a family, and it's something I will never give up. if anything, meeting Them has only made me stronger in my faith.

Thank you for your reply's. I realise the question is rather odd & I've never been exactly sure how to ask it. Sorry for any confusion.
