>>40633808That’s not a counterpoint anon. That’s denial disguised as insight, a conditioned response dressed up to sound profound.
>It is necessary to have faith to understand.Really? That’s not how we approach knowledge in any other domain. We don’t say "You need to believe 2 + 2 = 5 for you to understand why." Thats circular logic. It uses faith as a filter to smuggle in the conclusion before we’ve even started questioning. It’s a deliberate word trick used to make an argument unfalsifiable. In other words, it’s bullshit reasoning. It’s indoctrination.
>It's not simply believing the story that saves you, it's believing it then walking with God and coming to understand certain things that would otherwise be obscured.No. That’s not understanding, that’s self-hypnosis. You start with a belief, then reinterpret every experience to reinforce it. Thats called confirmation bias, it’s not revelation. You’re emotionally conditioning yourself to stay inside the belief system by creating internal consistency. You're not gaining hidden truth and this isn't enlightenment. You’re mistaking dependency for depth.
> t. former atheist who became a divine syzygy and entered heaven without dying.That’s the early onset of delusion (mental illness) and you’re attempting to pull others into it under the guise of divine knowledge.
