This is _your_ claim, but I see no proof. To know is impossible.
Therefore, it's just your opinion, for what it's worth! But I
hope you are wrong. We buried my sister after a long term fight
with cancer. I sincerely hope to see her again some day. But I
don't know. Neither do you!
The clueless is strong in this one.

The truth is we are _all_ clueless, since we cannot possibly
_know_ for an absolute fact!
It's belief and belief _only_.
I suppose it's only right that I explain the nature of your
immediate example of cluelessness. So here: you were responding
seriously to a joke by PZ. It's possible that you have no sense of
humor and so are unable to recognize it, or that you just read that
sentence while ignoring the prior context. The details of your
particular cluelessness in that case are not entirely clear. But
its general nature is clear. HTH.
I responded to the comment "there is no God" so, are you claiming
that PZ was joking?
I don't care who wrote the phrase "there is no God" it's just
another mindless and thoughtless unproven claim.
Reading and thinking are not among your talents. Have you tried
baking? Oh, but you probably have to read for that. Never mind, we'll
think of something. Well, you probably won't.
I simply responded only to the comment "there is no God". That's all!
For some reason you cannot deal with this, so what do you do: not
surprising - you resort to belittling, personal assassination and
slander. I don't have to deal with insults from you!
As I understood, in context the phrase "there is no God" is an idiomatic
way of saying that life is unfair. (PZ Myers' original post didn't reach
me, so I never saw it in its original context.) It's one thing to miss
this on first reading - it's another thing (Trump Syndrome) to double
down on your original interpretation when corrected.
I have not seen not seen whatever it was that PZ Myers wrote. I only
saw the statement I responded to. I have a right to defend myself
against such false accusations. With this, I'm done!
You could at least try to lie more artfully; you need the practice:

The above trivially proves your latest post utterly false. Not only
does its quoted text affirm the explanations provided by Harshman and
Major, it proves that you directly responded to PZ's post which you
now claim you hadn't seen.
