I can see how a person could be convinced by a personal or inner experience that they can't provide evidence of yet they found completely compelling. It's kind of the nature of such experiences (whether from peyote, a week of fasting, an NDE, or whatever) that they often (not always) compel belief from the person having the experience.
It could be reasonable to believe under those circumstances. However, whether their belief is reasonable depends a lot on what actions the deity they believe they've experienced wants from them. If it turns a bigoted weasel into civil rights champion, I haven't much complaint. If it turns a civil rights champion into a bigoted weasel, that's a real shame.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
