It all boils down to "you make up the god you like"; some do it using past religions as starting points, some just make up their own shit.
Some just prefer not to make up anything just for integrity's sake.
Yet even after this discussion they still believe in the same things they believed in before. As if reason didn't really matter as long as they liked their delusion. I'm so sad about it...
That's self-refuting. It would then follow that the belief "everything you believe is true is subjective" is just a subjective truth. Of course, parsing 'truth' into subjective and objective is an odd move. "True for you, but not for me" is not a proper application of the concept of 'truth' as I think I understand the views on it.
