@Everena:
Oh, and it seems you missed a point that I made concerning your religious experiences as I apparently was still editing while you were responding to my post. Specifically in regard to whether I can understand someone else's experiences, or draw definite conclusions about what and why they occurred. So I'm repeating it here for your consideration.

For you to know that, you would have to know what I have experienced, which if I understand your claim, is something you think is impossible, so the claim itself would be self-refuting. No, I cannot decide what someone else has experienced or why, but I can estimate the probability that said experience may have mundane underpinnings, so I do not need to know conclusively what or why somebody else experienced something. As long as I can show that there are more probable explanations for their experience than the one they are giving, then I can establish a strong prima facie case that said person's beliefs are irrational and not to be relied upon as indicators of the truth.
