Handling the argument from personal experience
#7
RE: Handling the argument from personal experience
Fair question Jacob but the reality is that personal experience is often brought up in debates as the unarguable point. Its usually tacked on to the end of the argument from morality, the argument from design, the Cosmological argument and the ontological argument as the coup de gras.

I am working on the basis that it has been brought up and therefore deserves dealing with.

I'm not sure I like the statement "the experiences are true," I think a better version is that the "experiences are genuine," and, accepting that - explaining them or more likely providing possible alternatives towards their explanation other than God.
