      I have no idea what a “religious realist” is, but it’s not me even if you keep lying about it. You don’t actually know what I believe and this attempt at gaslighting me is not going to work.

          Sorry, asking me if I believe what you declare I believe will not gaslight me into believing it either.

          I don’t know what you define as reality. I doubt I believe in what you define as reality, but I could also be wrong about that.

              We? How do I know you experience the same universe I do?

              How do I know you even exist?

                  I thought you said I was a “religious realist” and yet I do accept that. So does that mean you were wrong?

                    No, it means you’re being inconsistent. A day ago you said if I didn’t experience the same reality as you, if I thought reality wasn’t real (objective), I must be mentally ill. How do you square this contradiction?
