You effectively have no standard of evidence and can be convinced by a whole hoste of mental phenomenon which is other cases have been show to be creations of the mind unrelated to reality.
You are arguing we should not lower our standard of evidence but ditch them all together, and accept not what feels good to us, but what feels good to you.
No, I'm simply proposing that if such a God existed, your standard of evidence would prevent him from letting you know. Your standard of evidence for non falsifiable propositions is the same as your standard for falsifiable propositions. That's fine, but philosophy is all about exploring non falsifiable propositions through intuition, personal experience and logic. That's why I chose to post this under philosophy. I would propose that your standard of evidence prevents you from even discussing philosophical matters in the first place.
