gollark: That's stupid.
gollark: "Conventional thought" includes stuff like the law of the excluded middle, which is important or any statement you make about god is basically meaningless because the opposite is true.
gollark: God can also be beetroot for entirely arbitrary reasons.
gollark: You can say "god is good", but if you drop logic, that doesn't mean that god is not also bad.
gollark: And also the ability to meaningfully describe gods.
