I'd go even further and concede that you can always know what you like. You are on a mission to understand the world on your own (i.e., the bible's) terms. Nothing can deter you as your stubbornness is indeed strong. Sadly you are entirely lacking in faith and so permanently estranged from anything which could be god. But don't mind me. Go on, enlighten us some more on just how flexible your knowing can be.
