Actually, everyone so far has said "he's allowed to feel it's true." You would do well to actually bother to read what's been posted. Furthermore, what I and others have said, which you would know if you bothered to read, was that just because one feels something is absolutely true does not make it true. That's based on the simple fact that empiricism is not fool-proof. I can absolutely believe there's a unicorn sitting in my room reading Frege out loud. That doesn't make it true though, does it? I can of course say that such an experience is ineffable, must be experienced to be realized, etc., but that means absolutely nothing.

Does anyone here believe the sun will rise tomorrow? How can you know if you've not experienced the future? If you actually doubt that you cannot know what you have not experienced, you ought to be skeptical as to whether the sun will rise tomorrow morning. You, of course, would be opposed to long philosophical tenet of logic called inductive reasoning.
