Thanks for the reply. I don't doubt your experiences were 100% real to you and genuine, but they don't convince me that the Christian god exists, just as
@soulsurvivor 's experiences don't convince me that Sathya Sai Baba was a divine being or interacting with any god/gods, even though I also believe that their experience was real to them. There are many people who have had profound coincidences and seemingly powerful supernatural experiences happen to them and I believe that the majority of these people are genuine and not making up their experiences. There's a lot about existence that we don't know or understand but that doesn't mean that a god is responsible for every (or any) experiences we have that are out of the ordinary. As another example, I remember watching a YouTube video where someone described his experience on a powerful psychedelic plant. He described his experience of consuming this substance, and in the span of only five minutes, he genuinely felt like he lived
30 years in the life of another person. He was born, lived out an entire childhood, fell deeply in love with a woman, got married, had children, and remembered every single intricate detail of this alternate lifetime, and said that it truly felt like three decades of experience, longer than his entire life at the time. And the most striking thing that he mentioned is that this experience of an alternate life, felt infinitely more real than his actual life that he had been living. The experience ended when he died in the alternate life, and he came back to this present reality, screaming and crying on the bathroom floor, realizing that only five minutes had past, and he was never the same again.
