Well, I guess that's that, then, and you can hang your participation here up? The arguments you're always asking us to consider are somehow and meaningfully useless, according to you.
This is actually something I've had trouble wrapping my head around for the entire time that I've been here. Batshit apologists like yourself seem to suggest that any of the many arguments they bring ought to be informative..you even wave your hands that way in that post. Then, if and when they're shown not to be or worse, when arguments strongly suggest that your beliefs are inaccurate or malformed, batshit apologists...such as yourself.....tell us that argumentation isn't really informative after all.
It's as if people believe that truth only exists insomuch as it conforms with and confirms their assertions...and if it doesn't, why, then there' no real truth at all, is there? This is wholly outside of my experience as a human being. I cannot even imagine believing that something either is true..or, if it is false, then there can be no truth. I've never genuinely held two such directly antithetical ideas in my head at once that I can remember. It's probably why I find belief systems like that so fascinating. They're just alien to me.
