From what you've said, your belief isn't justified because you just told me it isn't.

While I see your point Frodo, I think that in this conjecture, you wouldn't be aware of his personal knowledge of it being pretend.

If he was just ranting about some divine entity, and it was made-up (unbeknownst to you), on what grounds would you be able to dispute it?

He's asking what your process is to discern that which is made-up, from that which is divine. What criteria do you have to distinguish TRUE claims of divinity from false ones?
