Not the type of evidence that I could show to the whole world to "prove" His existence to everyone, but enough for me personally to hold the position that I do.
From a psychological standpoint, could this personal experience not be held to the same standard as those who are delusional?
I.E., those who believe in such things that are clearly not real.
Yes, of course. But I don't think I'm insane, nor have I ever had any sort of problems with mental illness lol. There are 2 explanations for what happened: 1. me and the person I was with are both insane and had the exact same delusion at the exact same time, or 2. what we experienced really did happened.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
