Can't you accept it when your claims are rejected? I've never seen anyone go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about something so delusional.
I think the idea of there being a god is beyond delusional. I give theists a chance to put forward their ideas and claims and I re-think my stance as well but still I reject them. We are not dogmatic, we are non-theistic!
I can accept that you reject my viewpoint, yes. And as I've said, I never expected to convince or convert anyone here. And if that's all you did, then you might as well just have said that you reject my belief. But there is no point in coming here and telling me that. I gain nothing by you telling me that, because I already know it.
What I can't accept is that you define my belief errorneously for me, e.g. say that it is equivalent to the FSM, when the God my argument arrives at is clearly completely ontologically differentiated from any spatiotemporal and material being. And my belief in God, based on my arguments, is epistemically differentiated from the FSM as well, since there are not arguments in favour of FSM, or any evidence; and most notably, no actual properly basic beliefs in the existence of FSM or any other spatiotemporal being as "transcendent God", because that is categorically not what FSM is in it's very ontological nature.
You don't have to propose straw men like FSM or faires to reject my monotheism.
And what I can't accept is that you say that you have refuted my evidence, when you have only ridiculed my belief; even now, your best argument is still to call my belief "delusional"; when you say that I have no rational arguments, no evidence, when I clearly have presented rational arguments which you have not refuted, and which are not of my own making, but very much attested as valid by a large corpus of intellectuals and intelligent individuals.
The people who are the most bigoted are the people who have no convictions at all.
