Full Idea
A proclaimed experience of God must be rejected because a) there is no agreed test that it is such an experience, b) some people experience God's absence, and c) there is no uniformity of testimony about the experience.
Gist of Idea
The experiences of God are inconsistent, not universal, and untestable

A Reaction
