Yawn if you want. What I said is so...and most of it applies to you. So yawn away...and refuse to grow up. At that, you will be a success.

I SEE NO REASON WHATSOEVER TO SUSPECT THAT GODS CANNOT EXIST...THAT THE EXISTENCE OF GODS IS IMPOSSIBLE. NONE WHATSOEVER.

Yup. You are apparently clueless. You shouldn't be. You are smart enough to see what is happening here. Put down the shovel. You are deep enough.

Call a local university and ask to speak with one of their logicians. Tell them you offered that as a syllogism. They will enjoy the laugh. I did.
