    It would literally be impossible for me to believe what you’re saying because it isn’t a coherent set of beliefs, because you can’t answer simple questions about what you believe.

    It would be like if you asked me to believe “fish staple hope clam.” Sure, I could repeat “fish staple hope clam” all day long, but it wouldn’t mean anything because it’s a nonsense phrase with no meaning or substance behind it. I’d just be parroting it without understanding it, because there is nothing to understand. Likewise “God can help you escape the game” or whatever is an empty phrase that you’ve just learned to recite but which has no real substance.

    That’s exactly what you’re doing. You’ve learned to parrot a set of phrases about God, but it’s just empty words that don’t actually mean anything. If I ask you questions that you haven’t memorized a response to, you just ignore them and go back to your script.

    What’s the point of having a brain if you’re not going to use it? What a waste of perfectly good neurons.
