Why should I trust any answer I get?
When I was younger I talked to God and Jesus. I saw them and heard them when I prayed and in my dreams. They gave me sage advice that helped me out at the time. I gained comfort and support from them.
I was brought up in the church. I went to religious schools. I studied theology. I read the bible. So I was primed to believe in God. And if you are primed to believe in something and you go out looking for it already believing, you will find it.
My senses lie to me. My mind plays tricks on me. There is no reason beyond my personal subjective experience to believe in the God I was searching for.
