"Your disdain for religion or anyone with an open belief system shows you to be someone who is somewhat narcissistic."

One does not follow from the other. You can hate yourself and still have disdain for religion. And you can be religious and be truly narcissistic. The two have nothing to do with each. The sentence in the previous paragraph is not only an untruth (it doesn't show anything at all) it makes no sense. It's "not even wrong".

"...open belief system...", so if you're "open", I must be "closed". And everybody knows being open is better than being closed, right? You're using language labels that don't mean anything except what you're implying. What if I replaced "closed" with "analytical", and "open" with "flakey"? Now would that be fair?

And just what is a "frequency", anyway? I know of only two valid uses of the word: 1) how often something happens, like the frequency of bowel movements or 2) a technical term used to describe the repetition of a cyclic process. And a "frequency relationship" doesn't mean anything, it's just two words stuck together that sound cool.

And you're right, I don't understand how magic works, that's why I don't talk about it. And since nobody else seems to be able to explain it to me, can I be blamed for not believing it at all?

Just because you can string words into grammatical sentences does not mean you are discussing anything that's real.
