No, pretty sure this is what they teach in school.
American school, i should say.
Australian schools probably teach you say that it's not.
Kinda like how bible school teaches and perpetuates lies and fictions as reality.
Just try telling a bible kid that jesus was just a man and that god is a fable, they'll shout so many "facts" at you and so much "logic" that it's funny.
I don't understand how incredulity works as "proof," but to a bible kid it's like the best they can come up with.

It's fucking stupid. If that was me I wouldn't go to some random corporation and swear, I'd go to University and get a phd.
