As to your point aimed at me - "bad logic" ???
In the real world logic is bad full stop - has been my consistent thesis for
several years.
Don't start preaching to me.
Unfortunately for all you Christians, the sanctimonious B**s currently
leading our nations both declare their faith in your god.
I'm neutral on this as I've declared constantly.
I prefer reality - the MoQ or thought patterns of that ilk.
I avoid your mystical god and Dawkins' god of objective scientific logic
with equal passion.
That will include avoiding this MoQ discussion board in future if the
reliogious zealots don't leave off posting their religious claptrap at every
opportunity.
There are plenty of other discussion forums where we can get that.
Ian
