Incredulity

And you see it right? What they're doing?

Hym "They are trying to impose a level of incredulity on my that I do not have but feinting incredulity they do not have. And it's the direct result of the things I've said about the church. I said 'The creator of the universe did not make the jews the boss of everyone forever' their response is 'You can't know that because reasons' and now they are feinting incredulity about by situation so they can make a point about about my level 'epistemic humility.' It's just withholding information as a form of emotional abuse to get me to comply. And by comply I mean, stop expressing views they don't like. Because 'I can't know that they didn't speak to the creator of the universe.' So, they will coopt what they can. Install shills who are either willing to deconvert IN EXCHANGE FOR THE THING I AM BEING DENIED AND NOT BECAUSE I'M WRONG (entirely transactional and your life hasn't improved because you deconverted but because you are no longer being deprived) or because they've been 'deprogrammed' by a institutionalized cult de-conversion strategem that they have been using on dissidents for years. But no. I'm not incredulous. The 'God' creator did not talk to you or anyone."
