A Taoist may have the same experience and interpret the same phenomena differently. Some Mahayana Buddhists interpret such experiences as Avalokitesvara (the being)... yet others say that Avalokitesvara is merely a state of being and that the only being involved is the one having the experience-- or (more precisely) being itself.
The point is, "God" is merely an extrapolation. I'm not saying that any given experience of yours wasn't a genuine revelation. It might have been. All I'm saying is that it's your revelation that relates to your subjective existence. You are brutalizing any genuineness in the experience by taking as a cue to change the beliefs of others.
Fine, they prove nothing to someone like you. They have proven God to me and bilions and billions of others beyond any and all doubt.
They proved absolutely nothing to you just as they proved nothing to us.
The difference is all about your childish wishes, untrained perceptions and greed for cheap satisfaction, and not at all about How they came to be and what that might mean. It is you who chose to embrace whole hog what you, in your ignorance, believe they say because it is pleasant to you, and it is you who are too arrogant to concede that their being pleasing to you really mean absolutely nothing whatsoever to whether they are true.
