You said "the personal God is the only one..." This suggests that
everyone believes in the same subjective view of God, which is silly.
The problem here is that the statement is not well-formed. We're
discussing things that not only aren't operationally defined, they
cannot be operationally defined (belief isn't something that can be
directly measured [1]).
Absolutist statements can be easily contradicted primarily because any
statement can be easily contradicted. ;)
