To add to it is to complicate and mask it

To subtract from it is to simplify and deduce it

Disguised, it reveals itself

Exposed, it conceals itself

To mask it is to complicate it

To presume it is to simplify it

Not adding, it remains consistent

Not subtracting, it remains consistent

Each person needs to look to their own spiritual health instead of finding fault with the way others choose to deal with theirs.

This is all exactly what I have come up with. I have neve runderstood superficial theists, they have made no sense, but it does not automatically lead to total abandonment of wisdom etc, like more than a few atheists are willing to do without question. I have always wanted to know more, and I have had to do it myself, sicne noone has ever taught me realisstically. It is good to have osmeone reinforce my thoughts so I can feel more at ease with them.
