   This opinion of yours is certainly useless shit but not just to me and not   
   just because I don't agree with it.  Try rereading the moron's post and see   
   for yourself how he completely distorted what I said, and likely only   
   because it threatened his own precious little beliefs, and because he lacks   
   the brains or the integrity or the evidence to argue coherently and   
   rationally.  After all he did contradict himself when he mentioned   
   correlations to NDE's but discounts psychedelic drug experiences out of   
   hand.  It is he who constructed his own conclusions looking for ways to   
   justify them, rejecting without any consideration anything that does not   
   reinforce them.  So now if you have anything constructive to add and are not   
   just trolling and flaming and otherwise shit disturbing then do so,   
   otherwise just shut up okay?
