I will go to the voting booth and if I try to vote for someone that God doesn't want, he'll move my hand to the right box.
Yeah, great plan genius.

Please flyboy, stop sucking up to the Skeptics

It's not impressing anyone - neither Skeptics nor non-Skeptics

Yeah flyboy, stop having your own opinion on things.

It might disagree with Ian's.

WOW! You really imagine I mind people who disagree with me?? heehee.

Anyway, I rather think we all agree with the stupidity of some people. It's just not relevant to anything, nor is it interesting.

What the hell was all about? My best guess is that it was just a spurious impulsive post, because I dont see many of your posts of such lack of substance like the one I've just quoted.

In any case, even you should be able to recognize superstitious silliness when you see it, so enjoy it for the 12 1/2 seconds it takes you to scroll through the CNN article.

What the?

Can't you warring tribes (woo woos, skeptics, believers, Skeptics, care bears, French people) chill out and enjoy an excellent quote?

Oh well. Did I at least impress you, Ian? That was my goal

after debating 1 in C all night

I have a new found respect for Ian

Thank you Ian, for showing some sources when proving your point

Not to mention I can relate to his drunken posting.

Now, there's a sig. line going begging.
