    He fulfills the fake requirements anyone else does, because it’s all made up.

    It’s like that old saying: how do you Kill a vampire?

    Your could use garlic, or wooden stake, or…

    But, it doesn’t matter. You can use anything your want, because they’re not real. We made them up. Including the ways to kill them that fit the contemporary times.

    Edit: Downvoting me does not make your anti-christ, or your christ, a real thing.

      It also doesn’t make it not a real thing. There’s no point in wasting your time arguing it, or mine for that matter. We won’t agree.

        You could make the same argument to support anything anyone wanted. The Easter Bunny. Santa Clause. Et. al.

        If you assert a thing without evidence, then it can always be dismissed without evidence.

        But ultimately, it doesn’t matter what someone makes up or believes in, as long as they don’t use those beliefs to hurt or oppress other people.

          You’re just speaking the truth

          Imagine if you were at work, let’s say at an engineering company, and you had a guy who really believe that tiny fairies are actually what lift planes.

          They are invisible and seem to function exactly like the science of how lift works.

          Imagine this coworker and how ridiculous it would be to tolerate such fantasies.

          That’s what religious people are doing and expecting is to take seriously. Literally they are talking about super fairy tales all of which has no data, nothing backing it but their unreliable personal experience and just “knowing”.
