How do you know what you have "learned" is right? What you "learned" could easily be falsehood. I have an a priori knowledge that all that I know from this particular source (The Church) must be true, for the very Author of creation hath so gauranteed it.
Yet, from other sources, where is your gaurantee that you are not adopting error, and adopting it soley because it is pleasing to your own ears?
You believe that which you prefer to believe. I believe that which is highly inconvenient for me to believe, even that which condemns my own actions, not because I desire to believe it, but because I have been threatened with eternal damnation by that Same God who created us if I do not believe it.

It's true because God says so, and I know God said so because The Church (which one?) says so, and I know The Church is right because God says they are, and I know God says this because ...
Nope, sorry, wrong on all claims,
"How do you know what you have "learned" is right? What you "learned" could easily be falsehood. I have an a priori knowledge that all that I know from this particular source (The Church) must be true, for the very Author of creation hath so gauranteed it.How do you know that your priori knowledge is true? The Church has a long history of lying and neither you nor the Church has every proven that God exists. A guarantee from an author who can't even be shown to exist is worthless.
"Yet, from other sources, where is your gaurantee that you are not adopting error, and adopting it soley because it is pleasing to your own ears?"
My senses, the senses other persons and the tests on qualified scientists.
You're the one adopting a view, with no supporting evidence, simply because you find it appealling.
"You believe that which you prefer to believe. I believe that which is highly inconvenient for me to believe, even that which condemns my own actions, not because I desire to believe it, but because I have been threatened with eternal damnation by that Same God who created us if I do not believe it."
By that "logic," one should always believe the school yard bully. If he tells you anything at all, no matter how idiotic, one should believe it lest one get beat up.
" ... for the very Author of creation hath so gauranteed it. ..."hath , hath he?
Maybe you ought to see a speech therapist to get some help overcoming that annoying lisp.
Then we can see about getting you some help with grammar and spelling.
However, overcoming your ignorance and irrationality might be more difficult.

@Mister Spak
What I "learned" is a priori so that proves it's right. a priori means "told to me by a prior".
Hey Philosophus Vir, God doesn't exist...
"God threatens me with eternal damnation if I don't believe him, so everything he says must be true!"
Here ends our lesson on what the word, 'Deluded' means.
"How do you know what you have "learned" is right? What you "learned" could easily be falsehood." believe that which is highly inconvenient for me to believe, even that which condemns my own actions, not because I desire to believe it, but because I have been threatened with eternal damnation by that Same God who created us if I do not believe it."
Please review your first sentence...
