You have continually missed the point; you are too focused on people that you fail to see what is being said; you are both more interested in attacking others than listening to them.
Yawn again.

Your opinion that, for example, your faith in Jesus gives you immortality and your belief that this is a "truth" cannot be analogized with reference to mathematical truth and "the sum of 8".
This sums you up! No matter what is said you twist it into something else, even simply adding numbers together.

"Simply adding numbers up" is a silly, childish analogy for what we have been talking about. It sounds like something someone would try to use on children to manipulate them. I perceive you as just taking the piss and it's wearisome.

Then don’t bother with it or me since you are so much more! Your hubris is showing again.

KJ, is this yours, or a copy-paste?
Does it not remind you of one of Dasa's OPs?

It is always about people, isn't it, not the people's topics.

Your topic reminds me of some of Dasa's topics.

More than a few times, he claimed that his Hindu beliefs are "absolutely true" in the same way as 4 + 4 = 8 is "absolutely true".

Your OP is "about" your mindmap, and your mindmap is what gives rise to your belief that this OP has any validity when talking to non-believers.

Message boards like this are "about people" and "people's topics".
