LOL, it's just your own neuronal habit (sometimes called an opinion).
Mingyur Rinpoche calls it the "gossipy neurons". There's a little mass of neurons in your brain and due to your past experiences of my posts, those neurons have previously rewired themselves to keep passing the following message:
"That ALG is an arrogant son of a b**** and he ALWAYS says I'm wrong!!"
... to each other in different forms. It leads to something called a confirmation bias. It gears your senses towards a tendency to perceive as much as possible of what I say, as evidence of an arrogant son of a b**** who ALWAYS says you're wrong.
Actually if you look back carefully on my posts, there is only one point (a rather small one, in the overall context of this thread) where I have said you are wrong. You had said that quantum effects are not observable beyond the size of an atom, and I said that this is untrue, and cited you several links to various scientific studies (And GASP!! None of the linked articles actually have "The Secret" or Fred Alan Wolf or the phrase "Law of Attraction" in them).

On the more general points in this thread, let's be quite clear. I didn't say that you are mistaken just because you disagree with me. I didn't say that you're mistaken at all.
In fact I think that you are quite right within your own reality. After all, whatever meanings you attach to your reality, that is what your reality will mean.
For example, if you currently think that God is a mysterious possibility well worth further investigation, then that is what God will currently be for you - a mysterious possibility well worth further investigation.
So you are certainly right.
Until you change your thoughts about God, of course. Then you will be right again, at that time, because at that time God will exist in your reality in the form corresponding to your change in thinking.

A much less significant point - if you currently think that ALG is an arrogant son of a b**** who ALWAYS says you're wrong, well, you would also be right about that. In your reality.
