    Good thing it’s not a lie then. You’re a religious realist.

      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.

        It’s someone who believes in reality. That’s not you?

          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.

                I know we don’t experience the same universe. But realists won’t accept that fact.

                  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?
