I generally agree with you, but you can study actual verifiable knowledge while you are in school, or you can study religion or astrology..... both interesting subjects, but neither based on truth.
What I mean is do you think there is absolutely no truth in astrology or religon?
note : I'm using "truth" in a general way, feel free to specify what you mean by "truth" as it has been a troublesome term (especially on this forum)
BTW I do think there is some truth in both religon and science, however depending on your defintions I may change my mind about that🙂

If I pray to god or my dog, the success rate is about the same. How do theists explain this?
If you are an unbeliever God will hear only your prayer of faith in His son Jesus Christ. Once you profess faith in what Jesus did on the cross on your behalf, then, and only then, will God be justified in imputing the righteousness of Christ to you. Then you will have a relationship with God, and He will hear your prayers.
That's how it works, because that is how God said it works. It's all right there in the Bible.

in the sky! (what you think is the moon in the sky is non other than a handy light so God can see who is knocking at the pearly gates).
Hell is in the centre of the earth...the perfect place for making red pitchforks

(There'd be no point putting it farther away because the outrageously massive universe was created for humans, and humans alone. What is more, it helps him keep his spying eyes on us)
As for oxygen, probably same as Earth...glory!

If it's near the moon, pehaps Hubble can take pictures of it!
