You invoke an entity to account for something that I admit I cannot account for. I am not entirely convinced that they need be accounted for, or are necessarily something absolute as you seem to think they are. Nonetheless, there's nothing dishonest about admitting when my understanding comes to a hault. You are being intellectually dishonest by praying on my humility (which you seem to view as theft) and using it as an opportunity to plug in your God (for which you cannot account for), If you can believe in God without being able to account for his existence, how is it you then take issue with my recognition of reality? There are things in reality I don't understand, you maintain that you understand everything, yet you cannot account for God or justify your invocation of your particular version? You cannot distinguish your God as the real God over all others that are being solicited. You have no foundation for your belief other than a really old text. You are just claiming to have answers and pleading for special exceptions so as to be granted immunity with regards to providing explanations. Which one of us is "engaging in intellectual laziness"?
