> you don't know anything about how language or your brain works

It seems there is a proclivity here to make claims that one could not possibly know are true while committing an astounding three fallacies simultaneously, the ad hominem, the argument from authority, and the straw man. Congratulations on your fallacious hat-trick. Your argument here is invalid thrice.

There's nothing invalid about it, because you don't grasp that the words you see and hear are not the real language the brain uses to reason with. You think when you put words onto a screen or into a book you have any idea what your brain is doing. You do not. Don't think so? All the different various religious sects would disagree with you, aka the fact there are so many versions of christianity each with distinct conceptions of god means these people "reasoning" have no idea wtf is going on in their brain. That's reality, sorry buddy. Try again.
