So.. if an infinite amount of people are doing math, 1+1 for example, and all of them, except ONE knows it is 1+1=rwpsauce, but only one knows that it is 2, everyone is wrong?

number say yes
logic says no

Add .333~ and .666~ and you get .999~ which shows that it is equal to 3/3, and therefore 1.
I'm quite sure the only reason that works is because you're assuming 1/3 = 0.333~, which seems to be circular reasoning.

I would do long division to prove it, but that'd probably end up being circular reasoning in your mind as well.

While it is generally true that Buddhists are atheists, atheism is not a religion.
