Great article, and it helps me explain to my friend that my faith is not, in fact, blind.
One problem: communication via the spirit from God to an individual is an epiphenomenon. So it can't be proven externally? That's one instance of a rational belief that isn't contagious, though I suppose that's why there are people who doubt the existence of epiphenomena altogether.
Wikipedia says:
I'm not sure what to call non-physical things changing the physical world, but it seems the communication you describe, if possible, would be non-physical to physical, right?
You are, of course, correct. :3 I used the wrong term.
Is that because there isn't a right term? I don't know it if there is.
Perhaps there ought to be. Let's invent one!
