       To provide some evidence that you have any idea at all what you think   
   you're   
   trying to talk about. So far you've given the clear appearance that you don't   
   have any idea and can't even pretend you do.

       Your cowardly attempts to wuss away from yourself certainly don't. If you   
   could do better it might, depending on what you could come up with. I do   
   consider the possibility that there's no God associated with this planet, but   
   since I don't have faith in that being the correct one I consider other   
   possibilities as well.
