Quote:Why is that insane? I've seen ghosts. To deny such a belief would be to deny personal experience. I've never seen God. To claim a belief in Him would be to invent personal experience. I am an atheist because I am skeptical. I am not a fundamentalist atheist, who knows before examination which of the pseudo sciences are false, the way the fundi knows what parts of evolution are going to prove false on examination. Freethought would be to examine the experience of noncorporeal contact at face value, regardless of what label i choose to wear with regard to my relationship with any skybeast... |

Quote: Had that as my sig-line for a long time - in fact, it's there at the top of the page. I've had a personal experience of a ghost, too, but at the time I was young and fanciful, and I probably imagined it. I give your personal experience of a ghost no more credence than that of a supposed miracle - and I would expect you to do the same. I mean... I also heard Santa on the roof for crying out loud... ---

Rambo,
Sorry, didn't see you already used that quote. How about these on stupidy. Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.--Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915) or The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.--Harlan Ellison Yours, Sembrar |

A scientist was sent to Lourdes France to investigate and see if there were any real miracles.
He walked up, looked around and then turned around and said, 'NO REAL MIRACLES HERE'. They asked him how he could make such a quick decision. He said, 'because I saw thousands of wooden crutches but not one wooden leg.' |

One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork.

I don't know why people think you need government intervention to bring about discrimination; they have no faith in free enterprise.
Gordon Fitch Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. Bertrand Russell Damn the Solar System. Bad light; planets too distant; pestered with comets; feeble contrivance; could make a better myself. Francis [Lord] Jeffery An idealist is one who, on noticing that roses smell better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup. H. L. Mencken For every complex problem there is a solution which is straightforward, simple, and wrong. H. L. Mencken Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
