I don't believe I'm wasting anyone's time, certainly not my own.

I disagree with that statement. I think you are wasting all of our time... yours included. You claim to believe things that are... let's just say... unconventional... and when asked why you believe these things, you basically say that you believe things that you want to be true... to be true.

So far, from my perspective, your beliefs are based entirely upon your own imagination, wishful and/or magical thinking, and childish wonder. You have made no attempts to refute that, choosing instead to shrug and say, well... that's what I believe. How is anyone supposed to respect that? You make things up, mull them over a bit, decide that you like the idea... and then choose to believe it's true? That is, quite frankly, the stupidest system of belief I have ever encountered. In fact, it is difficult to believe that someone with any intelligence at all (which I think you have) could seriously think that way. I find myself hoping that you are a Poe, because if you're not... it's just sad. Theists are often labeled 'Intellectually Dishonest', but that label doesn't even begin to describe you sufficiently.

Other theists express their beliefs and, while I do not believe they are correct, I can at least respect that they have their reasons for believing. Those reasons are not compelling enough to cause me to believe, but at least it boils down to more than "because that's what I believe". And I'm not just talking about your science fiction version of 'god', either. You have said several things in these forums that beg the question, 'Why do you believe that?'... and have yet to give an actual answer. I paraphrase:

"Everything is going to change within five years. All governments will change beyond recognition."

"The color turquoise is a conduit of positive energies."

"As more people leave organized religion, the number of believers rises."

"Reptilian overlords might be living among us." (inferred by your refusal to dismiss the claim and your fandom of David Icke)

"The entire universe and all things within it are manifestations of God."

There are more, but I can't be bothered to remember them all right now. The point is that if you are going to continue making statements of belief, you will continue to be asked why you believe those things. If you continue (as you've done so far) to obfuscate, dodge, and flat out refuse to answer those questions... then you are completely wasting our time and yours. It's like having an unsupervised child in the forums.

I sincerely hope that (if you are for real) you will eventually realize that, just because you can imagine something and like the idea, it does nothing to validate the truth of that idea. You say that you feel that it's true. I say, stop letting your imagination and emotions dictate your reality and use your brain for thinking. And unless you can begin backing up the things you claim... stop wasting everyone's time.
