The reason Nikhil that i contend that experience of god will not suffice as proof of his/her/its existence is that it is just too subjective. Such experience does not justify the making of a cliam that an object (god) exists outside the experience.First, experience of god is limted to a specified class of people. Experience of physical objcts is avaliable to anybody who cares to look. This on its face looks suspicious, does it not? Some claim to have experience of god, yet only those who believe can have such an experience.
Perhaps you will say that there are those who did not believe and yet have had experience of god, that may be so. However for the majority there is either a belief already there or a desire to believe that makes the resulting experience epistemologically dubious.
Second, a sense experience bestows a prima facie justification upon the objective belief based on it. For there to be such a prima facie justification the experience must have overriders and checks that make it possible that the belief is unwarrented or false. Thus i am justified in believing that a wall is blue unless it is bathed in a blue light. There is no such background overrider in religous experience. It is always experience of god. It is always true.
None.
