I think the crux here is to avoid arguing against people’s experiences when trying to raise the sanity waterline. If one argues against their deep experiences, there’s a big danger of the backfire effect. If one acknowledges the experience of God as something real, but delineates that from proof of an actual God existing, this may go further with religious people.
