    You're a moron.

    Yes, I'm acting as part of a deliberate conspiracy to cover up UFOs, Bigfoot, life on Mars, and the 1000mpg car that runs on water. It has NOTHING to do with the fact that these stupid claims have been explained again and again and morons like you ignore the obvious explanations (with plenty of backup evidence) in favour of your repeatedly disproved delusions.

    Thank you for filling in the left side of the bell curve.

    You see, you get quite high and mighty about being open minded - and then in the next sentence, you force a blessing on to the poster. I mean, as a non christian, i find it quite offensive and disturbing that you'd add that blessing/prayer to the end. Don't force prayers and blessing on people that don't want them, and people will probably be less likely to "lump all Christian together"

    Someone wishes you something good and you bitch about it. Wow. I mean really...FORCE a blessing? It's the equivalent of saying "have a great day" and you screaming "F YOU BUDDY. I'LL HAVE WHATEVER DAMN DAY I PLEASE".

    Get over yourself man.
