Haven't read the whole thread, but great post. I do think believing that at a minimum something has occurred when people tell of their religious experiences is reasonable, and required, and that rejecting their testimony is a worse thing that most people ever dream of...it shows an unreasonableness not acceptable to God.
But of course, that doesn't mean the person's view of what happened is right.....that takes some effort, analysis, prayer, and experience and yes, it takes faith just to even find out the truth.
