How do you explain me looking this psycho if there is no SATAN
The devil is real!!
Yep! That's him!!!
How can someone so "filled with the light of god" look so darn angry all the time?
Well, it takes one to know one!
Do all devils have a private jet? Or just this one?
Yes. Therefore, Taylor Swift must also be a devil. Science.

I feel like there's a lot of these, where someone says "how do you explain [extremely basic, everyday thing] without [religion]?", it's kinda weird. Like being a certain level of religious makes you immune to all common sense.
In my experience of these zealot types, it's that they don't want to know the answer, and won't accept any answer that isn't literally bulletproof all the way back to the beginning of time - no matter what you tell them, God did it.
It's like playing a pigeon at chess. It'll shit on the board and then strut around like it won.
These are emotional people with absolutely no care or enjoyment for reason or logic or learning how the world works. I believe strongly that the way our brains develop as we grow, be it influences from environment or genes or upbringing, just can go in radically different directions. Kind of like how some people have no internal monologue, or some people can't visualize images in their mind, I think some people can't comprehend the world outside of a very "mystical" interpretation, even when taught how physics and evolution work, they still will see those forces as expressions of a mystical universe with a personal, subjective God who is trying to communicate with them.
You absolutely cannot reason with this kind of perspective because it's not one of reason. The MOST you can hope for is getting them to feel something, and in this I have only ever found common ground in things like expressions of love for the universe or the beauty of nature, but that's like one person going to the baseball game to watch the game, and the other to eat the food.

Well, you're right.
and the other to eat the food.
Bad deal, stadion food is usually overpriced.
More like a lot of people maning memes about it
I’ve never heard something like that irl or online (outside of a joke)
Also she used the wrong "there."
Tide comes in, tide goes out. Explain that, atheists!
Get a ball, hold it between your eye and a light source. I know that some natural phenomena are hard to explain, but this one is really easy to conceptualize.
THEIRS IS NO GOD. THE ONLY TRUE GOD IS THOR
LIAR !!! The only real gods are ms. spagetti monster, and Tlaloc.
And i only worship one of those 2.
That's a really rudimentary question for a religious person to ask. But then again nothing really surprises me anymore. Oh wait more than likely a non-Muslim / non-Jew would ask such a question. Carry on.
