No, I did not start the thread as a joke.
Nor did I start it to poke fun at any christians here.
Alas, I didn't last long.

I started it in the attempt to make at least one of you christians read what I said and then take a moment to digest the absolute absurdity of most christians when they claim that they speak for god, or that prayer "works", or that god is a republican. And I'm doing this because NOBODY ELSE WILL. This is why the thought of Sarah Palin in the White House gave me acid reflux.

Speaking of Dean Roddey; Dean, please continue trying to sway these folks because I don't have the patience to go on that fool's errand of trying to explain why you can't prove something doesn't exist (as it is non-falsifiable).
