No, you're not getting this. I understand your subjective opinion, I hold the same subjective view.
Objectively speaking, it is not extraordinary. I do not question people who claim to experience love, even though I cannot prove their exact experience.
Then what the hell point are you trying to make? We all know that most of the world is theistic, that was never the point of the discussion. Their theistic claims are extraordinary, and need suitably extraordinary evidence.
