How can I tell if I am oblivious?
Probably can't.......I'm oblivious.
But I did want to comment here after reading the last few pages of this thread.
I have never seen the mods being anything other than tolerant, thoughtful and discrete.
I consider time here well spent, but more for entertainment and self education than with a deep hope of changing the world. (Wouldn't trust myself to do it if I could.)
I hope Drich does come back. I don't know what the kerfuffle was and don't much care. That's what the mods protect me from. I've found the discussions challenging, sprightly and fun with little serious antagonism. I hope most others do as well. A couple pet theists are useful even if consistently wrong. Echo chambers are boring and lead to extremist, self righteous factions. Theists here have to be either totally dedicated to saving heathens or so thick skinned & clueless so that they can ignore the drubbings meted out. I welcome both.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
