So are you saying I actually know I'm wrong about God and am just lying to myself?
You are conning yourself, but not intentionally. I accept that you actually believe what you believe.
The main tool of your con is one of omission. You are purposely omitting the only known methods of determining fact from fiction.
And you are basing your beliefs on faith and wishful thinking. Faith and wishful thinking are not virtues, nor are they paths to truth. They are tantamount to gullibility.
By definition of the word conning, it isn't something that can be done "accidentally." Like lying. People don't accidentally lie.
And respectfully, you don't really know what I'm basing my beliefs on.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
