It's not even an argument for my religion, it is simply what Christians believe and have always believed, and what the jews believed before that. It's surprising that atheists don't know that. I am simply saying that my worldview has an explanation for the genuine supernatural experiences that other people have. You can claim trickster Gods or flying purple unicorns or whatever you want, but you don't actually have any grounds for it, so it is not a persausive argument.
The other half of the equation is that if a good God exists, the deception could only be limited. The truth is available to know who God is..and if God is good that is offered to anyone. So, you could not be endlessly deceived in this paradigm.
Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
