You sir... you played well
I salute you.
Here, next time use one of these:
I wasn't playing anything. I will try to explain what I meant:
If I was to say to you that it is true that I am a human being that is typing on a computer, and you said "no, I don't believe it, you do not exist." Then I sent you a picture of myself but you still denied my existence, would I expect you to believe that I exist because I sent you that picture? No, I would expect you to believe I exist because I exist. If you don't believe I exist it is your own folly.
You fail at language.
A statement is true if it describes reality accurately.
Not because I believe it...
The bible describes some things which seem way out of reality, hence our inherent difficulty in accepting it as true.
It's the same difficulty we find when we read the Harry Potter books.
We thus require some actual evidence of the claims therein which are at odds with our currently perceived reality.
