A large number of people that believe something doesn't make that something true, Watson. You know that.
And when I say 'validated by others', I mean something as simple as: You claim that your god speaks to you. Someone else hears him speak to you. Now someone else has validated your claim. That wouldn't be enough (one other person heard it), but that's the kind of validation I mean. It doesn't matter how many people claim that their god speaks to them... no one else ever seems to hear this amazing thing happen. I find that I cannot believe these people are being truthful. It they think that they are... well... then it's more likely that they are suffering a delusion that that a god spoke to them.
