    Do you think I believe in a god?

    Edit: Bonus question, do you think I’m claiming a god exists?

        It seems like you should understand my point/position before you reply to me if you want this conversation to be productive? Why is understanding those things irrelevant to you?

          Because philosophy, debate and logic were part of the basic school curriculum when I was a kid, and as a result I understand your particular subjective perpective is irrelevant to this conversation…

            How do you know my point is subjective if you do not understand my point in the first place?

              Because you’re oh-so-focused on whether I think you believe a god or not.

                I’m “oh-so-focused” on that because you’re “oh-so-focused” on telling me about “empirical investigations” that disprove the existence of gods, which have literally nothing at all to do with my point.

                  I see - the issue here is that you’re functionally illiterate.

                    The lack of reading comprehension here is definitely on your end.

                    Me (sans-snarkyness) in the original comment you replied to: “Hey, the field of philosophy where this stuff is studied is called philosophy of religion. Proofs for and against the existence of a god have been critiqued to shit there. You should read about it.”

                    You: “Oh yeah! Well I can disprove any god you like.”

                    Congrats? Do you want a gold star or something?

                    Go study philosophy of religion. These kinds of proofs and disproofs are part of that field along with their critiques. That’s the point I’m making in the comment you originally replied to. Nothing about my point is subjective.
