Oh? Am I not saving you fast enough? Maybe I'll get around to it in, like, 5 years or so...
Hym "Me? Oh, nobody. Just a meta/hypertext writing genius who has been made into a literal archetypal figure (the intimations of which range from stioc, monomaniacal hero to narcissistic superman). I may or may not have convinced the world's most famous atheist that the creature is real and I made the world's most famous clinician into several anime characters in his peripheral association to me. If you're trying to punish me for this then I'm at least Plato-adjacent (the poison is just a slower acting one). I would say that it's working pretty well, I mean, nobody's gotten raped or murdered by me yet. So that's pretty good... And why don't I do something about it?... You want me to fix the inherent corruption of man?.... Because... it's not the church that is the problem. It's the constrained malevolence that resides in the hearts of all men... And I can't even get you flesh-sacks to give me the credit that I'm due. Let alone get them to stop being evil filth-monkey abominations." 🤷
No it isn't Jordan! No it isn't! This is You trying to reframe what constitutes belief to justify taking all of that Christian money. To believe in THE CHRISTIAN GOD is to believe that THE THINGS IN THE BOOK DID, ARE, AND WILL HAPPEN, Jordan. Is the Christian God THERE Jordan. Is it THERE and does it have the attributes it is depicted to have in the bible OR.... OR... IS IT NOT THERE, Jordan? Is that A THING THAT YOU THINK? DO YOU THINK THAT THE CREATURE IS THERE? IS THAT A THING YOU THINK OR DO YOU NOT THINK THAT? ARE YOU A BOY OR ARE YOU A GIRL, JORDAN?
Dr. JeepJorp Peepeestones "Belief in God is WHATEVER I DO AND NOT THE THING I DON'T DO! Ok!? So if I don't actually believe in God, then, actually believing in God isn't actually believing in God, OK!? Believing in God is something else entirely! Now... Ok!? You can't just ACTUALLY BELIEVE that God is THERE... You gotta... You gotta, like, grapple with the IDEA that it MIGHT be there! And then you gotta interpret the book so that WHATEVER YOU DO... Is doing the Book! Even if you contradict yourself AND THE BOOK! Right!? See, God (and by extension all higher-order abstractions) is whatever I need to do be, moment to moment, for me to maintain a certain level of moral superiority. So, maturity? Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment. Belief? Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment? God? You got it! Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment."
