That would be a more humble approach and it's the better one in my honest opinion.

Ah, gotta love the soft bigotry of low expectations. Theists might have received a legitimate "revelation" so why demand the same standard of sufficient evidence and internal consistency that we would for any other claim that seeks to assert itself as authority over others? In fact, why not just give every schizophrenic and sufferer of delirium the same benefit of the doubt instead of trying to "help" them cope with the facts of reality while we're at it?

There are certain claims that are properly basic and no one seeks proof aside from direct knowledge of them. We been through this many times. And schizophrenics are diagnosed for an illness not for beliefs. Delusions are not simply false beliefs (when it comes to medical term for schizophrenics).
