new thread for old RE: Atheists, what do you believe is the best argument for the existence of a deity?

RE: new thread for old RE: Atheists, what do you believe is the best argument for the existence of a deity?
If everyone with a mystic experience got the same message, it couldn't be ignored. It would be like love or anger, we would know it is at least a near universal human quality, and in the case of everyone getting 'Jesus is Lord', a good argument for supernatural involvement. What we actually have is a variety of experiences, often contradictory, and that tells us that whatever the nature of the experiences, they are not to be relied upon for information.

That does not mean that having one does not justify belief. It could be the nature of an experience that it compels one to believe. That's not a good reason for anyone else to believe another person's experience of the mystical is real contact with the supernatural; because there are plenty of other people who can testify to opposing mystical experiences.
