[Mod hat on]
Well hey, that’s unnecessary. I realise this is criticizing an idea not any persons, and that’s fine, but please keep it respectful to keep this post open per the rules and don’t let it get any more .
Bear in mind, we do not normally entertain skeptics here. this forum is specifically to discuss our magick not defend it to skeptics. You have some great responses here so I’ll leave this where I’d normally remove it, but consider this your only warning, you are expected to debate in an adult and intelligent manner, not fling verbal poo.
Please do read the rules if you haven’t.
Also as a tip: walls of text tend to get skipped, you might like to think about breaking that up with whitespace.

Because you’re trying to rationalize a thing with limited equipment that does not have the capacity to perform this action. This belief comes from experience, and it cannot be explained. Unless you go and have that experience, no one can convince you and in no way should you believe them. But the experience is not gained through the conscious mind, but the subconscious. So you can’t think your way through it.
Basically, believe nothing you hear, only what you experience. Other people can give you ideas for your own inner work, but in the end it’s all very personal and only you can choose what you want to believe.
What other people want to believe is not really your business, and your critique of then is about you and nothing to to with them either.
We all have to make up your own minds.
