Why do theists expect or want their subjective religious experiences to be objectively experienced and validated?

Does anyone really think that their religious / spiritual experiences are not subjective? If so, how and why would someone think that?

Update:

@ Anonymous: The religions themselves can be said to be objective. The experiences are not.

    No. Each person brings their own heavy baggage with them filtering everything through that. Many times all they imagine are facts, turn out to be entirely made up fictions. With that, how can anyone come out with truth?

    The only thing that works is to use reason and logic along with true facts from the Bible. Not allowing them to just dream up scriptures, but looking them up themselves to KNOW not assume anything.

    their experiences are not religious......they just pretend they are......because that's what someone told them they are......because religion is perpetuated by lies and delusions....
