It wasn't intended to diminish yours, merely work off of it to deliver an even more spectacular blow (only not using sarcasm, but satire). Such is the nature of the un-narrated written word. Of course even with the narrated word, the babble is still a load of incomprehensible toss.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
--- There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

Even the Mormon church admits Joseph Smith's 'translation' of the supposed Book of Abraham isn't kosher. And nonLDS scholars have noted Smith's 'translation' is untenable since he generates pages of text from each individual hieroglyph which 'everyone else' realizes represents a word . . . . The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

They also have the threat of retaliation. "You don't believe me, that's fine. It's your immortal soul that's in danger, not mine."
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.'

The problem here is that they never just leave it at this. I'd love it if they were actually fine with it and they would actually drop it at this point. Instead, they keep coming back and repeating the threat.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
