I'm going to have to strongly and respectfully disagree with you both on this. Personal experience is evidence. You use your human senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, 5 types of nerve endings for touch, balance, orientation, diretcion, kinesthetic, and several other internal senses which are up for debate but are more than likely true) to experience all the things you see as evidence, it's a necessary precursor for anything deemed as evidence and at it's very basest is a personal experience and subjective in nature. It's not "something happened because I wanted it to it's "something happened to me" and some people can leave it at that and it forms their subjective view of reality. I'm not stating what's real for me is real for you, just trying to get some people to accept the posibility is more than likely that something outside the , IMO closed minded, view of a materialist world observed only by the five senses. It's productiveness is debatable and certain few aspects are unproven but that's sounding like a whole other thread.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
