"What I have purposed about satanism/paganism can be looked up, that means it's a fact"
I just looked up the search term "Mickey Mouse Rules The World", guess what, that can be looked up and you get a result. More fact?

"Trying to use psychology is a very lucifarian thing to do and trying to make something as true and provable as satanic symbology seem like something I manifested is something commonly satanic trying to cover their steps and deceive the viewer."
One of the earliest things we were taught about the practice of psychology, the study of how the human mind and human behaviours work, is that many will see it as a threat, the fact that you conflate the profession with satanism is ample proof that this is true.
You still persist with the claim that I accused you of "manifesting" these signs you see on the TV and radio. I did not, that is an interpretation all your own. I merely pointed out the fact that you see ordinary, innocent things that way because you want to, because that is a way of shoring up your belief that you are surrounded by threats and conspiracies, and thereby reinforcing the need for your faith.
"And while you say you are neutral and very okay with anyone else's beliefs that could also be a form of deception to disarm, which would be tactically employed to cause further confusion."
Even an innocent statement like saying that I was neutral, you manage to twist into an attempt to fool and confuse you.
This is one of the reasons why in my last comment I stated that although I was originally agnostic your arguments had converted me to full atheism.
If being a "believer" also means spending my life in fear of everything around me and seeing threatening signs wherever I look, that sounds like a very unpleasant way to live. Sort of like a mouse forever on the lookout for the owl.
I would far prefer to live a life where I am free of fear and guilt, where I can enjoy interactions with others without always seeking hidden agendas and plots to confuse and deceive me in their every action and statement.
I am, however, able to appreciate your scepticism over the fact that most of my posts since joining have been on this conversation, and that you would naturally see this as being my main reason for being here, albeit incorrectly. The actual reason is that I find philosophical debate to be more intellectually stimulating than just talking about guns. Don't get me wrong, I love my guns, but there is a very limited amount of philosophical stimulation to be had when discussing them.
You must realise that for someone such as myself, raised and educated to believe only in that for which there is easily repeated experimental proof, and to treat as mere theorising anything that is not able to be proven, the belief in theology is something I cannot understand. Faced with something I cannot understand and possessing an empirical mindset, I feel compelled to investigate it.
When I read ADK's wild nonsense that the World Health Organisation is really a satanist conspiracy to enslave us all, I was hooked. The fact that my interest was then interpreted as yet another deceptive satanist ploy to confound was disappointing, the conversation could not progress in a meaningful manner and degenerated to verbal stone throwing. On both sides.
Finally, I had the opportunity this morning, Australian time, to share the transcript of our conversation with a colleague who has specialised in Behavioural Psychology. She pointed out to me something I had allowed my enthusiasm for debate to cause me to ignore.
This was the fact that people who hold devout religious beliefs will almost invariably find anything they feel confronts or challenges their belief system to be profoundly disturbing and threatening, even frightening. For my part in causing you such disturbance, I feel the need to apologise as that was not my intent, even though I doubt you will believe that coming from someone such as myself.
