Maybe I should have left that in the quote. I don't think I have to explain the references here.
Again:
Heaven's gate
George W. Bush
Tom Cruise
and:
Any Christian
Any Creationist
Any person that puts faith first (in any deity)
The list goes on. I'm not bashing those people, in fact I am a part of a couple of those examples, to a certain extent (not creationist, I find the thought offensive). But to say that one would be hard pressed to find your example is, well, wrong. It's almost the opposite IMO. I'm not attacking or bashing, just that is what bothered me to begin with but I didn't really point a finger at it. And please don't say the bible proves the existence of God, because it comes nowhere near proving anything. You don't strike me as the person that would, but hey it's the web and you never know. To quote a friend's sig:
"
If The Bible proves the existence of God, then comic books prove the existence of Superheros."
I don't know who said it first, but I applaud the statement it makes.
And I know I relaxed on definitions, but I don't feel like nitpicking them with you. Suffice to say that I did separate them in a sentence. I also know one could say "oh the average IQ is 100/125 because that is the basis of the test to begin with", but I was trying to exaggerate a little for humor. Try to get the joke, please.
