Well, now, see... None of those things have magic powers, include an 
afterlife, or even vaguely refer to sound theological concepts, so, 
sorry, you're not qualified. Same way even if you read every book of 
apologistics in existence, you would have still a) not read the one that 
qualifies you to speak of the matter, or b) like.. didn't read them all 
properly, or something. Yeah, that's it. You didn't read them right, so 
you're not qualified. ;)

Only the people with "deep" theological views get to do that. You know, 
the ones that are indistinguishable from everyone else's, in practice, 
but are really, really, you know, so deep they are actually different, 
even though not one thing such an expert ever comes up with is 
indistinguishable from what the moron on the street claims makes it all 
true.

There is actually a word for this sort of BS, someone came up with, 
where you say something that sound neat, proposes to provide a great 
explanation, but which, on anything at all like real examination, has 
about as much depth as a two panel stick figure cartoon, which says, "It 
is so.", in one panel, and, to which the other character is supposed to 
state, "Oh, I get it!", in the other, without, like.. any of the 
information you would presume lies between:

Deepitees.
