If your beliefs hinge on personal experience, ancient books, and anecdotal stories?

how can you dismiss or deny the claims of the fellow who has a different book, experiences, and story? Or indeed the claims of the fellow who was a set of well-documented scientific papers and peer-reviewed research & experimentation based on independently verifiable observations using standardized and repeatable methods?

Or is there something more to your particular religious claims which I fail to see, and if so, what is it?
 
Are you directing this to a specific religion? Much of my religion is based on ancient books, stories and personal experience. But I don't deny claims of someone of another religion.
 
I don't think that question makes any sense. You could also ask: "If your beliefs are based on peer-reviewed research, how can you dismiss the claims of someone else's beliefs who are also based on other peer-reviewed research?" People believe things for lots of reasons. The source and the method that brought them to that belief is only one of those reasons.

"Or is there something more to your particular [beliefs]...?"

Of course. They are MINE!
