ABSTRACT
The intuition behind the Argument from Perception is that since there are so many people who at various times in history have claimed to have theistic perceptions, there simply must be something to them. Zeis may be objecting that sensory perceptions have initial evidential sufficiency only because of certain features peculiar to sensory perception not possessed by mystical perception. 'Weak foundationalism' maintains that a sensory belief is justified somewhat, but not sufficiently, by the relevant sensory experience. That is, a sensory experience confers some degree of justification on the relevant sense belief, but not enough to constitute sufficient justification for that belief. It is not only the sheer number of God-perceptions that count in favor of their theistic interpretation. Recognizing the evidential force of the impressive array of perceptions of God need not blind us to the need to invalidate many God-sightings.
