No, it's about understanding what you're talking about and broadening your perspective. Do you even understand your own rhetoric about being in a small "box"? Is your mind confined to your mystical Christian perspective or have you broadened it by really considering alternative viewpoints?

You're reading some of my articles, for example, but you're not really seeing what's on the screen. It's all filtered through your bizarre theological notions. You're talking mostly to yourself and to your imaginary friend here, not to me. You're putting on a show, starring yourself and your god.

I'm sure you think it's the same with me and with anyone. And indeed, we may all have our cognitive filters. But mine are philosophical, which are relatively skeptical, self-critical, and openminded. Unlike Christianity, I don't literally demonize those I disagree with. Unlike a fundamentalist mindset, philosophy isn't a self-reinforcing delusion.
