My belief in God isn't based on science or logic - it's based on personal experiences. Things which science or logic could not explain.

I prefer to stick with objective data. Move into the category of subjective things like emotions and feelings(which are highly manipulable whether it be drugs or an electric clock doing the manipulating) and you start gettings things like gobblins and ghosts.
i.e.:

Department of Psychology, Laurentian University, Ontario, Canada.
A left-handed Roman Catholic female adolescent with a history of early brain trauma reported nightly visitations by a sentient being. During one episode she experienced vibrations of the bed, an external presence along the left side that moved into her body, inner vaginal (not clitoral) and uterine sensations, and the sense of being impregnated by a force she attributed to the Holy Spirit. After the latter experience she felt an invisible baby superimposed upon her left shoulder. Analyses of the measurements for magnetic anomalies within her bedroom indicated an electric clock about 20 cm from her head while she slept. The complex form of the 4 microT magnetic pulses generated by the clock was similar to shapes that evoke electrical seizures in epileptic rats and sensitive humans.

Science and logic are much more reliable when it comes to determing what's bullshit and what isn't. I'll take them over "feelings" anyday.
