GOOD Apologetics?

[Whateverist]

Proof of the existence of God comes from God and not from speculations about him.

Lets grant that you are completely sincere in having experienced what you took to be the presence of God. I'll concede that you are absolutely sincere in that. What I would need to know is how you -who presumably never had such an experience before- would 'know' what exactly it was you were experiencing. We know the human mind is capable of a lot, how can you rule out that it was your mind itself which presented you with this? Exactly what aspects of the experience mark it as god-inspired?

Then, even if we were to concede that it was god-inspired -which I can't possibly really allow- how in the world could you possibly connect that to the bible? Surely it is more than a coincidence that every experience of revelation is always in relation to the god that predominates in the culture of the person having the revelation? That's got to make you at least a little suspicious.

More likely the experience was entirely murky even if it did feel special at the time. It is highly unlikely that you were explicitly informed that this was the god of the bible speaking. From where I sit it just seems a hell of a lot more likely that in your extreme state you just interpreted what you experienced in the only way that made sense to you. No one knows what would count as an authentic experience of God. It is only after the fact that certainty creeps in.
