I disagree, much confusion. I can't see any hyperbole in the statement you quoted.

As the sentence says, I quote the response to to what you called the hyperbolic statement. Not the hyperbolic statement.

Thanks for clarifying. I still don't see your point. Fact is that the hyperbolic statement that one is punished for 'just existing' is false. The arguments dealing with that are quite simple & concise, so what exactly are you arguing for?
