[[Divinity]], as presented in the religious scriptures, makes claim to the final authority for all [[truth]] and [[reality]], and provides rules for and directions for the use of creation. The question of authority in such a system is "what does God want from me and how do I know this?" The source for answers to these types of questions in a divine authority consideration is variable in the human experience. ''[[Absolutism]] is often the result of receiving what is considered a divinely authored experience''. The common experience of man is a religious history. Methods of understanding the connection to [[divinity]] are multiple, all seem to require some measure of faith in divinity and contemplation of perhaps multiple methods of communication. | [[Divinity]], as presented in the religious scriptures, makes claim to the final authority for all [[truth]] and [[reality]], and provides rules for and directions for the use of creation.
