The nature of sudden religious enlightenment is that
IT MUST BE BELIEVED .. . .

. . . by the direct recipient.

But when the recipient relates his experience to others,
it has no evidentiary value whatever.

I heard this individual interviewed on NPR recently, and
it seems clear that HE is convinced. But his credulousness
is not binding on me. Or you. Or Max, or Joe, or anyone else. If
one of his hearers is convinced by what he says, that's their
choice. Their credulity.
