There are layers, starting from terra firma and where the topmost layer is human nonsense

if you think the string of inferences fails at some point, you should be able to draw it out - and even if you do, it only suggests a new path whose end is the same "topmost layer" about which you are even now claiming to have made inferences about

It's all just layer upon layer of adversarial examples built into the human brain. The fact that people come up with similar nonsense repeatedly doesn't make it not nonsense, it just means they have similar brain architectures.

That's what they all say, and yet none of them can argue directly to any point

the points you're making don't prove what you seem to think they prove, and perhaps if you merely acquainted yourself with the perspectives of others it would be easier for you to recognize that your idea of adversarial (falsifying) examples don't apply to their system

I've read a lot of religious texts and listened to a moderate amount of people talking about them, I just don't think I know anything about theology because there's nothing there to know. If you want to present a "perspective" please do so concretely.

and that's not what I mean by adversarial example. I mean brain hacks. Just like AI recognizes upside down trashcans as gibbons or whatever, humans see God everywhere.

the distinction between legitimate knowledge and brain hackery is a theological one. what exactly is the difference between hearing words and being hit on the head with a hammer? Don't they both simply modify the configuration of the central nervous system?

While I agree that some words do things outside of corresponding directly to material reality in a Tarskian manner, I don't believe in rightful authority. The proof is whether the fruits of your speech are good or not. Anyone trying to monopolize spirituality is evil.
