I'm starting to wonder if you've suffered brain damage.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I see, Ensign.
Do you understand how knowledge of this could cause the members of this ship to question your postulations even more vigorously?

I can't see what's not there. That's nothing new from you.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

I could care less. If brains can't heal, I would not have gotten the highest mark in the summer of the first computer science course nor would I have gotten a 96% on my last midterm.
Our brain is a tool it doesn't define us. Damaged or not damaged, I can use it do great things.
If you guys want to play that card go ahead.

I really wish you would use it to do great things instead of all this word salad preaching.

Actually the real arrogance is insisting there is a god to worship in the first place and then saying there's sometihing wrong with everyone else for not automatically taking your claims without criticism. That way lies Little Rikky.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Your imaginary friend, if it actually exists, would know exactly where to find me and exactly what would convince me sufficiently for me to deem it worthy of worship.
As it stands now, I see no evidence for your god and am not going to bother taking your faith-based whining seriously.
Stop wasting our time and AF's bandwidth, mortal.

Dude...YOU'RE the one who acknowledged that you've had episodes of psychosis.
I'm not speculating as to what that entailed, how it impacted your intellectual/reasoning capabilities, or whether or not you've made a complete recovery. I was asking you if understand how that might affect other's willingness to accept your assertions about the demands and desires of your Bestest Invisible Friend.
Don't get mad.
It's a reasonable question.
