And you've never been able to demonstrate that YOUR god is real.
Well if you think i'm simply going to sell all that I have in order to prove it to you or anybody else, you will have a long wait.
You seem incredibly and blissfully unaware of how severely that statement undermines your own position. How can you expect to persuade people of the reality of a God you yourself refuse to follow? "Oh, I'm so impressed by this powerful God that even his followers don't listen to."
Besides I think I figured this out...you refused to pay taxes and justified it by giving money to your street friends. Then when the government came to seize the house...you justified walking away from it because you were listening to "the message". Problem solved. And now you want me to do the same thing if I had half a heart. Sucker
This is an incredible wad of mischaracterization.

How do you know that all whom I listen to are conmen? Is it the fact that most of them sell investments? Is it simply because what they say is so out of line with mainstream economic wisdom? Is it because I also (as you claim) fall for the Christian apologists...who coincidently are also *all* seen to be conmen?
We've read tons of your posts and have observed you being sold a bill of goods time and again. You're like a sponge for scams.
And how do you know that what you are taught by mainstream economic wisdom is in fact accurate or wise?
Most of us apply the same method we've been suggesting to you, underpinning what we believe with facts.
I will admit that as AZ says, most of whom I listen to corroborate my gut feelings.
And how is that working for you?
I will tell you this much. I smell a rat in global finance.
Why would anyone listen to you?
This all could be triggered by my metabolic health and mood swings. It could be psychological. I may be mentally unstable and off-base. (I doubt it, but how would I really know?)
You can be pretty sure you have a problem because practically everyone is telling you you have a problem. I think stirring up dust storms here, which did not used to be your habit, and dipping into dubious financial practices and political ideas must be a form of escapism for you.
My mission now is to lower my blood sugar and re-evaluate my mental conclusions once my blood sugars settle at a stable lower level. I need to rule out that I am being affected by my own mental stability.
Finally, some sanity.

...China (which owns 3 times the gold they are attributed to have)...
Why do you care how much gold the Chinese have? We think they have around $120 billion of gold. Let's say it's much more and that they actually have $500 billion. So what? Explain why you think it matters.
And is it any coincidence that COVID happened shortly after Trump initiated a Trade War against China?
And don't forget that the CIA shot JFK, and that the moon landings and 9/11 were faked.
