I'm not even sure you'll find a minister who will do that.
If you're truly interested in truth, and you believe your experience to be truth, then trust it. Surely god won't leave you hanging without anything to give to a professional assessor.
If you really believe it's god, then put it out there to a professional, not to a bunch of atheists that you knew you couldn't convince before you even signed up.
Take your experience to a psychiatrist, they will perform tests, you'll have your facts. If a non-biased professional agrees with you, then you really have something.
But if you're looking for bias before you even get started, then you don't trust that this is god. Simple as that.
i could find a professional who believes in God and surely i can find a minister who believes in God but why should i seek one out to get some kind of approval from anyone are you going to seek out a minister or psychologist to get approval for your atheist views and adjust your beliefs based on their opinions ? im not interested in convincing anyone im just being myself being honest and giving my true opinions on different topics here .
