HA! GOT IT!

You know..., if you find my comments so annoying, there is an IGNORE FUNCTION you CAN implement. YOU won't hurt MY feelings one bit if you do!

Why? Take them on head on. Only less reliable claims have to run away and hide. Usually they are those that involve a statement of belief about godfiath deciding what reality is.

Axiom: All religions are man's creation. God did not create any religion. God doesn't belong to any religion.

All scribes, inspired or insane, can only relate what they comprehend. When limited to moral guidance, they're sufficient. When they stray, they're prone to error.
. . .
IMHO, there is a great spirit / creator who would rather not be alone, and created beings with free will. Obviously, mindless obedient slaves are not much fun playing Scrabble.
. . .
Such a being, that we believe is loving, compassionate, forgiving, and creative, is unattainable by those who are unlike, since in the realm of pure thought / spirit like attracts like. Those who are evil cannot approach that great spirit, and are self-condemned for eternity.

Whoever is the most evil among them, probably could be named as Satan, but in that state, names are not necessary.

And if we’re unforgiving, we may spend eternity “guarding the gates” to prevent entrance of those we hold a grudge against. But that means we’re “locked out,” as well. Best to forgive, and move onward. For it would be tragic to learn that there is a Prime Essence of love, peace, joy and forgiveness, that one can never approach, exiled by virtue of one’s own intrinsic traits and faults, ingrained by habit into vices.
. . .
Good Advice:
Strive to be the kind of person you would enjoy spending eternity with, otherwise you may become a person that’s hell to be around.

That would simply let you run free spouting your irrational "truths" about what our Reality is NOT pretending our complete ignorance about what it IS does not exist.

His truths are at least as demonstrable (if not more so) than yours.

Since we rely on the same hard facts about our Reality, that is hardly possible. What the hard facts do NOT do is support in any way his preferred belief about what our Reality is NOT anymore than they support my belief about what our Reality IS. You atheists seem to have a lot of difficulty comprehending this simple truth.

You always think everything you say is simple truth.

I actually think he is less certain than you. But one thing is for sure, he bases what he says on science at lease.. You base it on how phet feels about it. And if phet don't like it or makes phet uncomfortable he runs and hides.
