Why knocking is so important.

Who is they? The fairy queen?

She told me fairies are eternal, that they live outside time and space so they cannot be detected, they created this universe, and that when we die we all go up to the big fairy ring in the sky. Unless we're naughty and deny their existence, in which case we're sent to Captain Hook's ship to be tortured for eternity.

Seems legit to me.

I think your god must've been busy or something? Perhaps helping somebody find their car keys or score a goal, or maybe just watching some children starve...

Then maybe follow that for a while and see how it works out for you metering out the same level of scrutiny you have here. If you can bring yourself to test this 'deity' as you do with the God of the bible and she fails then check that one off the list and reapply yourself.

Perhaps it is you who should apply the same level of scrutiny to the voice in your head as you do mine? I have already done the test you said to do so why should I have to keep doing more while you just get to sit there and smugly assert that I should keep trying?

Here's a test we can both perform, let's ask our "deities" something no human being knows, something useful like "what is dark matter?". If mine cant tell me what it is then I'm willing to admit I might be deluding myself and the voice in my head is neither external or the creator of the universe. If yours cant then I expect you will make excuses. You never know, you might even get a Nobel Prize out of it.
