No, your sick and twisted solipsistic dementia has driven you to
assert, contend, and, I suppose, even genuinely believe that the
Universe is exactly how you say it is even when your "positions"
(and that is being generous with the language) contradict
themselves and each other, are filled with convoluted nugatory
claptrap and set a new standard for meaninglessness.

You cannot answer or refute his logical point, therefore you retreat
into your passive-agressive little puritanical prison, from where you
shout that since something refutes your point and cannot be
disproven, to so destroy your remote semblance of an argument
must be 'evil' and against the Great God without friends, sanity,
sex or employment, the Illustrious Buttster.

You possess a pointed skull, and have no capacity to understand

You are the ludicrous ass making all the ridiculous assumptions

Divine agents, hmmm? Maybe it's to late even for meds, and
you're ready for Basketweaving 101 and the rubber room. Have you
considered a healthy dose of nonsense-negating electroshock

If you filtered the garbage from your posts, there would be nothing

Relativity, Buttster; you're neglecting the frame of reference from
which the perspective upon an object issues (that's your second
thing). You forget yourself. If only we could...

You don't possess the brains to think for yourself, and prove this

In other words, Be-Leeve, Infidel, in the raving rants of the lunatic
Holy Man, Buttster, for knowledge and evidence and logic may not
with him tread.
