Do you not even recognize the close paraphrase of your own words? I know one thing: when someone tells me he or she is only "visiting" this world but can't tell me where they are "visiting" from, I can only treat it as insanity.

"If you are really a product of a materialistic universe, how is it that you don't feel at home there?" - C.S. Lewis
(Is there nothing in you that finds the nuanced, inferred, lyrical or mystical when you read?)
When you read "Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve'et ha'arets. Veha'arets hayetah tohu vavohu vechoshech al-peney tehom veruach Elohim merachefet al-peney hamayim. "
You see nouns, verbs, tense, syntax and inferences.
When I read the same text, I see This:
You and I, we are from different worlds. The difference is, in your world I am insane. In my world you are welcome.

I can sort of believe that part of you believes that.
I don't begin to believe that.
You are still plenty bright.
You still have AT LEAST SOME CAPACITY to choose amongst a LOT of plausible options--even in this relatively narrow aspect of existential/spiritual reality.
