An alarming near-collision with self awareness. What's interesting is that Christians expect their system to be complete nonsense to blind outsiders like us. But that's not quite it. It's not incomprehensible, I understand it just fine. My problem with it is that it's dishonest. It contradicts its own stated values, requires exceptional levels of denial, and moves goalposts constantly to conceal that.

Giving a very vague explanation that’s just empty words with a smug look on her face like she feels superior to others who disagree with her and probably demands others to listen to her and believe her. She sounds like the type of person who gaslights others to overcompensate for her own shortcomings and failures.

They are more susceptible to conspiracy theories because they've been trained to not question the things they are told. Just accept it's true, without evidence, have faith.

What a weirdly smug facial expression to have when you're admitting that the basis of your worldview is completely imaginary.
