I'd rather spend my time doing something with a better likelihood of success like teaching calculus to a cat or showing some shrubbery how to line dance. So instead I mock you, which usually takes some effort, but is made much easier when all I have to do is point out that you think "he was only 600 years old when he built the Ark" is a reasonable retort.
You serve as an example. You're the guy on the street corner waving the sign and yelling about the end of the world who makes people feel uncomfortable when they walk by. You're the guy on social media who won't stop talking about contrails and an inside job on 9/11 even though no one bothers to respond anymore. You're the raving prisoner behind bars on a scared straight tv show. You exist so the rest of us can point at you when we bend down to bluntly ask a child "Is THIS how you want to end up?"
So let me encourage you: Be loud, be proud. Tell everyone exactly what you believe and spare no detail. Every word you utter will serve as a reminder of just how blurry and moveable the line is that attempts to separate fundamentalist religious belief from mental illness.
All you had to say is that you are unable to disprove anything I've stated. It would have been much easier.
Disproving your ideas is easy. It's getting you to understand that your ideas have been disproven that's the hard part.
How would you explain to a child that Superman never existed? Would you point out the fact that people can't fly? Would you point out that every story that has flying people is fictional?
Disproving your ideas is as easy as pointing out that people don't live to 900 years old or that it is impossible to build a boat big enough to carry two of every animal. The problem arises when your ability to distinguish fact from fiction is so pitiful that neither of these facts even phases you.
How can I educate you about reality when your ability to understand reality is so fundamentally flawed?
