As for those who believe in no God or God in the self (like subjective reality), there are a host of contradictions. If you truly are God, then how did everything come into place? Why would you make the reality you have now the way it is? How can you even create a reality with all these rules and wonderful things if you cannot even explain to yourself and others how you created it?
I agree. That's the issue with any claim that rests upon an unprovable assumption. There are countless explanations one can propose through speculation, but in the end it is simply that, speculation. It may be justified by personal experience and by anecdotal evidence, but unless it's verifiable it's still speculation. That's fine for many people, and fine for establishing and maintaining a belief, but no where near enough to validate whatever the belief is based upon.
