Also let's not forget any experiences you may have had that were, say, "mind blowingly sureal."

While I agree that the pinky finger was gay... he did touch the shit out of that concept with it. But on this particular topic, I don't think the burden of proof in on a person who's just saying they're willing to venture past strict empiricism and explore the possibility of a god. I think the burden of proof is on you for wanting them to completely disregard it as a complete lie, or as harmful to even pursue. Besides, they're plenty of things we take on faith with no qualms everyday. Prove your family actually loves you. I know, lame example. But dismissing every abstract idea until it's proven to you can be very depressing.
