“You do, you know,” said The Lady. “Everyone has gods. You just don’t think they’re gods.”

    Insulting someone by insinuating psychosis. You religious fundamentalists are all the same.

      I don’t know if you have psychosis, but you think reality isn’t real which is pretty much a basic definition of not being right in the head.

          You said humanity is a social construct, not reality.

          And if I’m a religious fundamentalist, you can answer the question I’ve asked you repeatedly: What god do I worship?

          That said, ‘entire fields of psychology and sociology’ disagree with you. Which your googling should have showed you.

              The reason you can’t tell me what god I worship is that I don’t worship any gods. Lying and calling me religious won’t make me religious. It just makes you look silly.

                You’re a realist. You worship reality. It’s only been said a dozen times in this thread. You’re just denying that you’ve heard it like you deny the rest of science.

                  And I told you I worship nothing. Not even reality. I don’t even accept that reality is what my senses tell me. For all I know, I’m a brain in a vat.

                  Lying about what I believe doesn’t really work when you don’t know anything about me.

                    You literally said that me not sharing your religion is a symptom of mental illness. You don’t accept reality? If that’s true, you’ve done a great deal of personal improvement in the last day. Maybe you’re ready to give up realism.
