So those who know you best down there plan on prosecuting you for killing any friendship they try to cultivate with you for fear of you bludgeoning them to death with your razor wit and killer personality.

Awesome. You are the king.

I think it's arrogant to rely on science to the degree that you reject any idea that can't be explained by science, but it's equally arrogant of people to assume that everything that can't be explained by science is a manifestation of God.

I once visited a pyschic on a lark. No one is more of a cynic or more of a skeptic than me, but the pyschic told me things he had no business knowing. I can't explain it, but I don't assume God was whispering things into his ear, nor do I think science could adequately explain why some people are more clairvoyant than others. Reading the threads on the board the last couple of days, one would think that science and religion are the only tools we have for gaining knowledge. Are those really our only two choices?

Well spoken (written).

Same with you and an Asshole, except for coloration. An asshole has one red eye, while you have two. Of course considering where your thought processes come from, truly is that any surprise?

Thank you for your low brow contribution. We always doubted where you stood.

You normally have to read the likes of Oscar Wilde or Dorothy Parker to find this level of witty repartee.

Hilarious.

It is the "miracle' of the Internet that allows us to be party to such exchanges. Damn that Al Gore, damn him.
