I'm not disagreeing with you..... belief and faith can be interchangeable or me as both being logic based (or at least ostensibly).

Now the statement "I have experienced god; therefore god exists", is that logical?
I'm not sure, but I think it is. The person has said: My experience is 'A'. My experience was God, meaning it was synonymous with God, therefore A=A. That is there knowledge. I don't know the formula letter thingy, ut I hope that makes sense. If not let me know.
I have a problem with the letter thingy.
The letter thingy only works for me if we agree on "A" and its meaning.
Now agreeing on the meaning of that "agnostic" thingy....

Sesame Street ..... I have experienced the letter A therefore it exists????
