Personal evidence cannot have any real validity. Period.

It would mess up the idea that you can do whatever the hell you want. You're clearly not ready to be balanced, detached and objective about the possibility.
That's fine. That's what this world is: an illusion, where rebellious souls can live in the fantasy that there is no God.
Wow, you really don't understand atheism. Do you really think that atheists think they can do 'whatever the hell' they want? We are being objective about the possibility. You are not. You simply take the word for it of a 'guru'. It is true, I don't know him, but considering the number of people over the years who claim to have been spoken to by any number of mythical beings...well...I don't think many other people would accept this as evidence. Don't you think if we were 'rebellious' we wouldn't honestly believe that god didn't exist, but rather accept him as real and reject him anyway?
