I have been touched and blessed by His Noodly Appendage.
See?
And I'll bet the FSM never told you to kill anyone...let alone your own kid!
No, because the FSM is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent but overall He is benevolent and would never tell me to sacrifice my own kid to prove my faith. That's only for jealous and barbaric gods.
In all seriousness though, nobody should count "personal experience" as proof of anything. At least not scientific evidence. Personal experience is not evidence of anything to anyone but yourself and religious people use it because they have no other means of backing up their faith.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
