... assumption comes from lack of evidence, and the lack of evidence comes down to each individual resisting learning.

These last 2 steps in your argument are flawed. All logic, math, science, etc. begins with an assumption. It's the learned who can properly identify and encode those assumptions.

Yes, and you should reduce your assumptions down, not increase your assumptions to the point of believing in them.

Not all assumptions can be eliminated.

Look, I get it that you're only here to argue. As long as that's the case we might as well make it fun. In order to do that, you'll need to get better at arguing. So, how can I help?

Loving me might be a good start :)

What would that look like to you? How does a stranger on the Internet express love to you?
Simple, let me know you, and get to know me.

Pure & unadulterated information, without twisting who you are or who I am by some belief about god.

Belief in God is part of who I am. If you want to know me, you'll have to understand what I believe even if you disagree.

How do you want to start? What do you want me to know about you?

It's not going to be possible while you have a belief standing in the way. You'll only end up making assumptions about everything I tell you.

Okay challenge expected.

Christianity screwed my brain up, and caused me mental health problems. I know this is true now, because after I jettisoned my beliefs I stopped suffering from schizophrenia. I found out after, that underneath all that mental illness I was still sick, with PTSD. So, I have to deal with that now.

That's tough. One of my kids has PTSD. I can't say I was much help, but we are still a family.

So, I don't have any answers for you, but I'm willing to keep talking if you want.

OK. Drop me a note sometime. Ask questions if you've got them.
I have one question burning in my mind. Should I take vengeance on my alcoholic neighbour for causing me stress for the last 6 month's?
