We can't, but we can reject claims due to lack of evidence to back them up. And I agree, before you reply, that absence of evidence doesn't necessarily equate to absence per se, but it doesn't mean we have to take the claims seriously.
"That which can be asserted without evidence..." And all that.

It's like someone coming back from a far away place with Good News about a better life: Some will want to go there for themselves. Some will not care about that message. And others will despise that person as a storyteller and liar.
I can respect the first 2....... Who would you respect?
I still have no idea what a 'spiritual sense' is.
I don't despite people for being storytellers, neither for being liars prima facie (the two are not synonomous, either). People are allowed to believe whatever they want, but equally, it doesn't mean those beliefs need to be taken seriously. There is not hate, at least not until one begins to try and enforce their beliefs on others. Then it's still not hate (from my end), rather resistance.
