Continuing to examine mental illness

Guess this guy had a series of experiences that turned him Christian.  That’s fine and all, but his ‘testimony’ is one of those things where you realize that these folks have absolutely no capability of looking at themselves objectively.  Every thought becomes a self-proving statement, or ironic with no sense of irony, like the Pope railing against superstition and imaginary evil spirits. 
Anyhow, look below, and you’ll see a wonderful circular logic that I associate with mental illness or, at least, self-delusion (emphasis mine).

You might wonder why, if God can convince atheists to worship Him merely by dropping by for a visit, He does not do it more often. The reason is that it does not help, not at all, not a bit. When I suffer doubts, when my faith gets weak, my faith in my memory gets weak too. Faith and faithlessness have NOTHING TO DO with evidence presented to reason or senses. It has to do with a humble will and an upright heart. If God presented evidence to skeptics, all that would happen is that skeptics would doubt their evidence. If God gave a logical argument to prove His own existence, all that would happen is that skeptics would doubt the power of logic to prove anything.
