      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.

                  Correct. That is what I said. This is what you lied about:

                  You literally said that me not sharing your religion is a symptom of mental illness.

                  I literally said none of that. Thank you for proving it on my behalf.

                    It’s a screenshot of you saying people who disagree with your religion are mentally ill, because realism is your religion. The absolute lack of critical thinking is astonishing.
