No doubt. My question is simply what exactly do they believe in and why? They had some wonderful experience, maybe they heard a voice saying "I am God thou shall not have other gods but me". Ok you had that experience but what can and what do you infer from it? That every word in the Bible is true? How would you draw that conclusion, based on the heavenly experience you had?

I think the point that many people refuse to question their "faith" is a clue which tells us that they believe because they want to believe, regardless of any factual basis.

I'm not against faith I believe everybody has the right to believe whatever they choose to believe. And if they do then obviously there are good reasons why they do so, my guess is the reason is it makes them feel better.
