Objective reality doesn't matter to you if you close your eyes, cover your ears and insist on living in a fantasy world.

Let's put it this way, if I went around basing my entire understanding of reality on Greek gods, people would rightly think I was fucking nuts.

Do it with the bible though...

Or Islam, Judaism, Hinduism or any other major religion.

But no, suddenly I am the maniac for believing that โ€“ in reality โ€“ we are pink elephants, hopping on the moon and imagining life as we believe it to be true. No one can prove I am wrong. But uh oh, sky grandpa mad.

(/s I don't believe anything. Just making a sarcastic point.)
