"Rather than asking the same irrelevant question over and over, try reading and understanding what I said."
Rather than you telling me to try reading and understanding what I said, why don't you answer my questions instead of saying they are irrelevent so I can understand what you say?
"There you go, there is the key. Both in why you want to believe and why you are not convinced. Which one wins out? Some folks don't care about evidence (or misrepresent it), or its absence, they believe anyway."
Are you saying you have the key?
"Your question suggests that may have misunderstood my reference."
"Are there not folks who believe in different things, this or that version of God? Some even clinging to flat earth cosmology? Are there not those who hold theological or ideological beliefs of various kinds?"
The key you have is opening for you, what?
"For me? Isn't it important for anyone to question and understand their own motives and reasons for belief?"
"What part of ''examining the motives behind beliefs is the key to understanding why people believe as they do'' is hard to grasp?"
"what are the drivers of belief? What drives a gambler? What drives a man of faith? What drives an ideologue?"
I wasn't asking about them or other folks, I was asking about you. Just say, I don't wish to disclose if I have "the key" or not or what I know to be definitive regarding my motives or reasons for beliefs. I just want to present examples of irrational idiots so I can appear to know better about the big questions of what is behind the door of the unknown. I'm fine with that. You don't have too.
