Jason:

What do you mean "it proves nothing"? If God, that is Jesus Christ, is a
personal God and He acts on a personal level, as well as public then yes it
does. It might not prove it to *you* specifically because it's not your
experience, but it does prove that God (if existing...) does work in
individual lives.

Jason:

How do you connect the two? Are you saying that shelter organizations that
are run by Muslims are run exactly like those Christian organizations? What
makes you think that the experiences at those organizations would be
identical to the ones in the Christian organizations?
