If a persons worldview is positively informed by fallacies - then those fallacies will be more compelling than a valid argument.
Even if the valid argument swirls around a similar conclusion.
The fact that this ad pop is itself a profound misrepresentation of facts is similarly incapable of giving a nutbar pause. It doesn't matter to any believer that the god they report having sensed is sensed by no one other than themselves. Two christians sitting side by side in the pews can't manage it, and it's clear that every sect and every other faith and every other independent god botherer in the world sees something else. In mere reality, atheists could present a clear majority on this particular issue. None of their god senses agree....but all of ours do. Ad pop accomplished!
Meanwhile, there is a valid form of the purported observation. Human beings experience a sense of the numinous, all of us. This intuition is informed in many but not all ways by factual exterior relationships.
