Default One personal proof a God’s existence

A few days ago I visited an IPU site and went into hysterics. I was still laughing my head off when I saw at noon the same day (this was in the countryside) a flock of pink sheep.

Mundane explanation --- the shepherd dyed them pink to separate them from other sheep being brought together.

But why can’t I take it as a miracle? After all what are the odds of a pink sheep and on the same day I was laughing at Her? My heart was hard and so the IPU decided to grant me personal experience of Her presence. That is why that particular day was chosen when the thought of IPU was on my mind. I was lost and now thanks to Her grace I am now found.

Since this is a true story is there any theological reason why this is not proof of IPU’s existence?

What evidence do you have of this proof other than an anecdote?

What counts as a theological reason?

It was a textbook case of deception from Satan, lord of lies. Allowing Jesus into your heart would solve the problem. And all other problems.

Perhaps they were invisible and they were Unicorns, but were simply in the guise of pink sheep so as to direct Hinduwoman's mind back towards the IPU. As you must know, for one to actually see an Invisible Pink Unicorn, to have solid proof, would result in a loss of Free Will.

This is true. Before it hurt really bad when I had to pee. But since becoming a Christian, the stinging sensation has (mostly) gone away.
