Like appeals to gut feelings, and intuition.
Or how about "self-authenticating experience"? On the reasonablefaith.org message boards a few years back, I posted a challenge regarding evidence for God's existence, and I shit you not the first reply was:

"I, like WLC, believe based on my personal witnessing of the holy spirit. I previously believed that Zoroastrianism was true based on my personal witnessing of Ahura Mazda. As it turns out, one self authenticating internal experience can be more self authenticating than another."

(I stumbled upon it today when I decided to Google myself--- http://www.reasonablefaith.org/forums/pr...1269317531 ---oh, the memories. Good times).

Now that I reread it, it's entirely possible that guy was joking. But it's sort of sad that with believers it's impossible to tell.
