Wrong again. They have every right to believe whatever they want to believe. Just because somebody tells me they had a personal experience where they "saw" the "Great Sky Fairy" does not make it true, no matter how much they [want to] believe it. Sorry, but you have presented no evidence, only hyperbole.

Nope. I've presented evidence. It is up to you to decide, based on your judgement, to what extent you choose to believe.

But the point remains that if someone claims religious belief based on personal experience, then that is evidence to the person who experienced it, independently verifiable or not. Evidence of the senses is always legitimate.

I'm sorry, I've stated time after time on this thread. I require independently verifiable evidence as I can only accept that which is demonstrated to be true under the scientific method. Anything short of that is unacceptable, and anecdotal evidence is unverifiable, ergo, you have presented no evidence, only hyperbole.
