If a thousand women (or men, whatever) came out and claimed to have been raped by Loch Ness monster - I'd be as sceptical as I am of most religious claims and I'd be looking for more believable explanations. On the other hand - if a theist says, that the mention of the word "god" makes his/her rectum tingle - I see no reason to question their testimony. In any situation, it's all about the probability of the claim and the availability of supporting evidence, so yeah - context.
It just so happens theists tend to make outlandish, self-serving claims and have never presented a shred of credible evidence for those. At this point I don't see a single reason to continue to humor them.
