If that’s not in your mind, then I don’t think you’re really a religious person at all."

If in a seminar you were to argue that I’ve committed a well-known fallacy by not deriving my conclusions from my premises and I reply, “You don’t know what you’re on about, I’ve just given 10 bucks to a homeless person,” my answer wouldn’t be accepted.
Yeah, because no one would believe it.
Yet another unfunny and unclever contribution from FGFM. He is a relentless bore.
You don’t know what you’re on about, I’ve just given 10 bucks to a homeless person!
I salute my indefatigability.

Your creepy indefatigability is in the 99th percentile.
Your creepy indefatigability is in the 99th percentile.
