"It is important to understand the distinction between an erroneous assumption and a stupid mistake. Simply being wrong by no means necessarily involves an affront to sound reason. If a four-year-old child is taught that the first president of the United States was Charlton Heston, he or she will thereafter make a number of erroneous statements about that particular question. But this will not be because he or she has reasoned poorly. It will be simply because the child has relied on poor authority. Stupidity, of course, can eventually enter into the process if individuals so unfortunately conditioned persist in their mistaken opinions for the rest of their lives, despite the availability of mountains of evidence to the contrary." --Steve Allen.

The irony of Arden arguing the “realness” of a thing is lost on him.

He’s running down the Superman trail all by himself.

My go-to response to any "omni" argument is: "If god is omniscient then he knows kids are being abused. If god is omnipresent then he's in the room while it's happening. If god is omnipotent then he's capable of stopping it. And if he's omni-benevolent then he should WANT to stop it. But every day kids get abused. Why does your god like watching kids get abused?"

His belief in Jesus makes him OWN The Truth. No need to KNOW the truth, no need to understand anything, no need for curiosity, for learning. No need to formulate the truth in your own words. When you OWN The Truth, you are intuitively right in all you think, say and do. Wonderful! You have all without ANY effort. When you know NOTHING about EVERYthing, the simplest method is to declare some slogan ("Earth is flat" "God chose me", "more guns make us safer") as irrefutable Truth, so obvious it needs no further consideration. That mutates you into a genius that intuitively understands that what can be known, and all others change into deluded, indoctrinated morons that THINK they can explain the world, but it is all just an illusion. It must be a wonderfully relaxed life when "Goddidit" is the explicit and exhaustive explanation for anything that terminates any further curiosity.

I've had personal experience of Jesus, he came to me and said, "don't believe a word David says!" ;)

When your "world" consisted of how far you could see (five miles) from the furthest you'd ever been from home (half a day of brisk walking) the claim of a "world-wide flood" becomes more understandable. You had no reason to think the land you couldn't see was any different from the land you COULD see. Plus, when transportation relied on walking, riding a horse or traveling by boat, in most areas visitors from out of town were so uncommon that the entire village could speak of little else for days. I read that the 20th century was the first time in human history when the majority of people understood the world was far larger and more diverse than anything they could imagine!
